Goldie the Goldfish

An emotional poem for my pet Goldie the Goldfish.

You are the charm of my little bowl,

Your skin and scale so orange

Like a pleasing sunset. I extol

your charm that no one can challenge.

I am happy as a clam,

whenever I struck with your glance,

Even during my toughest exam,

Seeing you means my luck is enhanced.

I love how you eat

Like a bird feeds on seeds.

How can I forget your sweet

water bubbles which everybody heeds.

O, Goldie! You are the precious part of my kin,

"Don't ever leave me", came a voice from within.

Author's Note

You would fall in love with her on the very first sight!

Very cute poem, and just from your description in this one I can just imagine how much joy Goldie must bring you.
"You are the charm of my little bowl,
Your skin and scale so orange
Like a pleasing sunset. I extol
your charm that no one can challenge."
That first stanza starts this one off great here, and I loved this poem. Good job!

"I am happy as a clam,

Even during my toughest exam,
Seeing you means my luck is enhanced."

Being an animal lover, I can comprehend your passionate feeling for your pet. Company of pets is really jocund.
Now about your work, I like how you expresses the feeling in a form of sonnet and the golden orange colour is just appropriate with the subject. Rhymes are well enough to create a musical effect. The images are so catchy. Thank you for sharing. Looking for more of your works.

"O, Goldie! You are the precious part of my kin,
"Don't ever leave me", came a voice from within."

Good rhyme scheme here, you're clearly well-read and very talented. From what I've read, the tone in your poems is usually joyful and uplifting, with a quick tempo. I also like the photos you use, they add more personification to the subject. This was a very sweet little piece that brightened my morning. Thanks for sharing :)

This is so cute and very well written. I could picture every thing that you described. I have also had many pets in the past that have given me the same feelings. I truly love this poem!
