Narrative: Salmon

Salmon poem a part of concrete poetry task

Salmon

I Swim,

I Swim,

And I Swim.

Through peaceful seas,

And gentle waves.

Which sway me,

Up and

Down,

And up

And down.

I snap up the smaller fish,

I avoid the bigger fish.

And I Swim.

And I Swim.

And I Swim.

Then the seas start to chill and change.

And I return to the river that first bore me.

I swim against its current,

I swim over its rapids,

And I swim along the curving course.

I avoid the sharp rocks,

I avoid the bears,

Till finally I reach the pool.

Which looks much smaller now.

I find a mate,

And we lay our eggs.

And I sleep,

And I sleep,

And I sleep.
