There once lived a goldfish named George who had big dreams of becoming an underwater celebrity. Despite his small size, George aspired to become a great white shark and swim alongside his larger counterparts.

One day, while perusing through Amazon, George found the perfect solution to transform himself into a miniature version of Jaws – a rubber shark fin. With his fin securely fastened to his tail, George excitedly dove into his bowl, ready to tackle open waters.

At first, all seemed well. George swam gracefully, flapping his fins in unison with his newly acquired appendage. However, things quickly turned sour as George noticed several fish gawking at him with amusement.

Confused and slightly embarrassed, George swam away from the crowd, desperate to find solace in his isolation. Unbeknownst to him, one particularly clever cat was closely watching George's movements from above.

In true feline style, this whiskered observer began imitating George's movements, complete with a head bop that would rival Katy Perry herself. The sight was simply too ridiculous to ignore, and soon enough George's owner burst out laughing, causing chaos throughout the house.

Needless to say, George has since retired from his rubber shark fin, opting instead for a life of leisure without the added burden of comedic relief. Sure, he still dreams of joining the ranks of Great Whites, but he accepts that dreams don't always translate into reality, especially not when a fin looks absurd strapped to a goldfish's back.

"In the spotl͏ight's embrace, a dancer takes fl͏ight w͏ith the cl͏ick of her heels, weav͏ing a graceful dream on the stage." In response to dVerse Poetry Form: Flamenca or Seguidilla Gitana For today’s poetry form, we are writing to the Flamenca or Seguidilla Gitana which carries a fast staccato rhythm. It is a variation of the Seguidilla, which was discussed here, including the definition of assonance. The elements of the Flamenca are: *stanzaic, can be written in any number of quintains. *syllabic, 6-6-5-6-6 syllables per line to imitate the rapid click of the heels of a dancer. *Line 2 and Line 5 assonate. (same vowel sounds) Teatros del Canal, Madrid, Spain Heels clicking, swift delight, On the stage, she takes flight. In spotlight's soft gleam, Her dance, a graceful dream, Grace in each step's invite. V͏is͏it͏ing Teatros del Canal ͏in Madr͏id, Spa͏in, for a flamenco performance was an exper͏ience I'll treasure forever. As I entered the elegant theater, th

Window Gazing

"A poem reflecting on what we see from our windows and what we wish we could see." In response to Poetics: Window Gazing Through my window, I see the world, A picture of life unfurled, The hustle and bustle of the street, A never-ending, restless beat. I see the sun shining, the clouds drifting, The leaves swaying, the flowers blooming, But beyond this, I wish to see, A world where love and kindness are key. I wish to see a world where people care, Where no one is left out to despair, Where hope and joy are found in every heart, And every soul plays a positive part. I wish to see a world where nature thrives, Where the oceans are clean and the forests alive, Where the air is pure, and the sky is blue, And the beauty of the earth shines through. Perhaps it's not the view that needs to change, But rather the lens through which I arrange, My thoughts and feelings, hopes and dreams, To find the beauty in life's extremes. So through my window, I'll keep looking out, An
