"The Fish" has a lot of imagery. As I read the poem and I saw the image of the fish. A warrior of his time. A survior of many "almost the catch". Looking into the writers eye, the fish with many lines and hooks all as ribbions of war and survial the achievment. The pattern of the poem made it easy to understand. Simple terms, simple items to relate in the enviroment. I would encourage everyone to enjoy the simpilcity of this poem. Give your mind a beautiful rest on a imaginative journey.
I had skipped over this poem but read it after reading your post. It was quite interesting and definitely full of imagery. It's a subject no one really thinks about but happens thousands if not millions of times a day. It was really interesting to think of fish having to tread a battle ground on a daily basis.
