Six because you should have won with this cute, clever and original piece. Well done from me, anyway. Unfortunately it seems humour seldom wins in the contests where it is not specified. But just slip in a few gods, jesuses, bibles and blessings and you're there, baby!

Aww... Julie! Thank you so much for this very kind and wonderful review! I do love humour and this challenge was quite fun to try and put together in a such a specific way. I'm so happy that you enjoyed. Thank you again and have a beautiful day!
Comment from Mario PIERRE
That was a true gem! The poem seems so natural, even with the imposed ending words. I also find it quite unique as it relates a a small gish lying!!
Good job.
Best of luck with the contest!!!

Thanks, Mario! I'm so glad you enjoyed Fish Flush! It was quite fun to write - and challenging for having to use specific words in locations. Not quite sure how I got them all in the right spots! LOL! Thank you again and have a wonderful day!
Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Fish Flush, uses the given end words well and created this improbable scene of the belly-up fish faking its death. Now, however, it risks the flush.

Comment from Eternal Muse
Oh, it was so funny! I loved the rhyme. Fish turned a trickster (lol).
Great creative imagery, visuals and humor.
Loved the artistic presentation. Good luck in the contest.

The author's words are humorous, descriptive and creative. I liked how
the author told a story in this poem! The words made me laugh especially
the P.S. at the end! The artwork is awesome and compliment the theme
and words of this poem. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!...Maria

Comment from royowen
Now that could be a little disturbing, when a fish is so cunning that he can fool us by feigning death, then virtually telling us what am idiot he thinks we are, heh heh, a brilliant post dear friend, great narrative and rhyming, well done, blessings Roy

Thanks so much for the wonderful review! I'm so happy you enjoyed and appreciated my giving some human characteristics to my "clever" fish! LOL! Thanks again and have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

Well done
Comment from James Hamill
That was wonderfully funny! And in iambic tetrameter!?!? (I just looked up that word, by the way.) Very impressive. Writing with a strict syllable count isn't easy, (most of the time in my non-contest writing I just try to make it close), but your words and lines flow seamlessly. I think you've done a wonderful job with the theme. I was engaged the entire time while reading it and it put a smile on my face. Well done!

Comment from Mark D. R.
very funny!
do like your story and the twist at the end
I have heard of flying fish (or frying the same!) but never a talking one. I would get him out of the pot and post his chat on the Internet LOL

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
This is one of the best I've read with this brief. Your rhymes have been inserted seamlessly and the whole story and image are packed with humour and fun. Brought a smile to my face which is always a winner in my book. Good luck! Debbie
