As we go through life's junkyard, be prepared to find acid rain that are caused by too much toxins and pollution released into our planet's atmosphere.
All types of man made things can create pollution and threaten the environment.
Preservationa and concervation become more difficult with all the available machines and industries that can wreak nature.
Be prepared for all the consquesnces of man's actions.
Acid rain, mainly form nitrous oxide and carbon monoxide can harm living creatiures including us!
Cheerio, great write and well expressed a mesage to all of us. Ritchie. :)).

Fishing in a junkyard pond is bound to leave immersed in robotic dreams. Those involved in that kind of work seem unlikely environmentalists. They just don't care, leaving nothing but tainted iron fish. An unusual write. I like the multiple messages and your a/b a/b rhyme format. be well.

Very metallic Treischel, I can even smell its surroundings.
A great piece of creative art with this write.

You have industrialized its movement in an environment where your imagery is king.
A great piece of inspiration.

In acid rain swam an iron fish- really, this sounds like wandering in the soulless, industrial/electronic age. I really think that this poem wants to be longer.

I love your photo and the overall presentation of your poem
excellent use of abab rhyming
strong social commentary - one wonders what the future holds as we so busily work to destroy our planet including everything that swims

Hi, Treischel,
Excellent haunting image of a possible world to be and is in some places. Good imagery in "in toxic rain swim iron fish"
Techical perfection as usual.

Well stated;
Man's careless, thoughtless actions result in toxic environments, wreaking havoc in our waters;
"iron fish"--scary thoughts resulting from the horrors of man.
A sad state of affairs as increasing pollution threatens both man and wildlife.

I read this abab poem three times and thoroughly enjoyed its quirkyness. A vision of the modern world devoid of feeling or consideration of others perhaps?
A fabulous picture of a nuts and bolts salmon!
What did you mean "It burns?"

another great write
kind regards
tracey

Your title and entire poem is intriguing and rather surreal. You added the perfect photograph to reinforce the theme. I admired your alternating rhymes in the quatrains and wish you the best in the contest. Hugs and happy Sunday- Joan
