acrostic again :P

hi hi gem <3 I keep meaning to stop by with a comment for you and then I don't oops <.< but here I am at last to leave a comment on your lovely thread :) First of all can I just say, I love all the fishy pun titles you have here xD they make my soul happy ^^ I also love all the sound devices you use in your poems - the rhyming, the alliteration, the assonance, it's all super lovely.

i dont think i've ever seen a self-depreciating cod,
and i'm pretty sure goldfish think all figures are hot.

this was a couplet I didn't know I need but oh my gosh did I ever :'))

have they not my well wishes float like snakes on the water moving effortlessly

aah this is such a striking image <3

i am just a goldfish invasive in a non native
stream

:'(( aah but also, "invasive in a non native" has some really lovely sound effects.

how dare -> eep I adore the attitude in this one "rude" xD also the idea of sun blinding fish is so unexpected to me, but it works really well!

poseidon rises -> oooh I've never seen an acrostic formatted to the right side of the page, but that's such a neat idea! I like how it makes the acrostic-ness of it more subtle, it makes it feel less like "oh this is an acrostic" and more "oooh it's a poem that spells out vivid!" (does that even make sense? I swear it does in my head xD) I also adore the image of "suddenly pouring in thick pools shuddering volitiley", eeeee that's such a rich image :)

i have fishues -> this poem <3333 I love love how you incorporated the forward dash into line four, it creates this intense pause after the statement "gender crisis" that's so so impactful <3

only children -> wait what? that is so cool, I had no clue we can't see actual yellow. Gosh those fish peeps be magical <.< That's such a cool concept for a poem, too, and I think you used it superbly here; especially liked the line "the starlight they draw just / happens to be in shades of yellow" c:

memories have metaphors -> well okay I love this title <3 something about the images in this poem are so nostalgic, too, they really take me back ^^

weighted ankles -> ah "beautiful delusions" </3 I'm so impressed by how you start with a positive image -- that seems like it cannot possibly be taken in a negative light -- and then change it into this dark, stark metaphor. 10/10.

Aah overall I'm really loving your NaPo thread this year! You make writing 30 poems in a month look easy peasy <3 good luck with the last few, I can't wait to read some more feesh poetry :)

april montage in honor of the fish unwritten <3
i took the first line from every poem and made a poem with them, changing them as needed to make a big poem about the life of this accountant fish during april ,, looks like they've been busy <3 (even though i didnt get near 60 poems im happy with the thirty i have and i think this is a fitting way to end my napo thread. <3)

@ChesTacos - Haha you gave me a comment i didn't know i needed at the time, i was afraid of my thread getting cluttered before napo but i should've been excited by the input. i later used your comment as a fuel to my fire, and im so thankful for you and it. <3 (ps im still in love with ur poem 'huff')
