Poems by Makayla


Sleeping Goldfish

After kindergarten
a surprise
swims in circles

Two goldfish
hide inside
an underwater castle

A week later
the fish sleep upside down
after I fed them

A kitchen sieve
tries to wake them
from their slumber

In the bathroom
I say a prayer
and flush the fish funeral

  1. Great poetry Makayla. You get really good images from the words you have written.
