Question

THE MATING GAME OF THE ANGLER FISH
by C.S. Scotkin

I wander languid through the deep abyss
Always searching for my supper or a kiss.
No sunlight in these depths can ere exist
How shall I find a mate I can’t  resist.

I swim so slowly as I search the sea
To find the perfect mate made just for me
All angler fish created have one plea
I have to reproduce, oh! Can’t you see!

I discharge perfume through my briny home
On this procedure I could write a tome,
I swish the lighted lure upon my dome
While trying to compose my first love pome.

What’s this, a little nibble on my side?
I think this means I’m going to be a bride.
He’s latched right on , his head he’s going to hide
And we shall never part, he is my pride!

Ecstatic now I have a mate so fair
His good strong sperm will always be right there,
On call for waiting eggs, and would you dare
To try this all you ladies that breathe air?

HA! And I've been searching for a new handle on poetry now that I've said all that I'm ever going to say about Ocean and his children, the 4th rock from the Sun, and most of what I'm going to say about love and nature. Maybe I should write poems about the advent of the Machine.

In any case, you have written a true story in funny and excellent poetic format.

Everyone needs an "angle" and you've found yours! I enjoyed this very much and must admit I wasn't familiar with the word piscatorial so in reading responses I even learned a thing or two!!

Danny R · Answer

A piscatorial poem here for sure.
Your writing is equipped with some... ahhh.. lure?

I have been reworking older pieces. I know I've said something useful back there, somewhere.
