Froggy Lou {Rachel}

My Week Long Love:

On Valentines day (the day of love)

My parents gave us kids a dove.

No, no, not a dove but 3 fish and a frog.

the fish where as gold as gold, and the frog as brown as a log.

We also got a little fishbowl.

and filled it with rocks and water clear full.

Next we spooned the fish right in

And hoped they would use each fin.

We watched and watched their tails wave ‘round

For only a week until they all drowned.  

As you can tell thorough my lovely poetry we got 3 fish, and they died... then we got 3 more... died, but thankfully we still have our little frog Lou. In my English class (2 days after Valentines day) we where required to write a poem about anything, using any rhyme scheme, and at least 2 types of figurative language (Can you guess what they are in my poem?). All that was on my mind was the tragic (not at all... a little flush doesn't hurt the soul that bad.  :) death of our newest family members. I thought it was funny to make the hole thing into a poem, and I had a lot of fun with it!

This is a picture of the only survivor of the gold fish killing rampage:

Sorry, it is kinda hard to spot the little guy.

 Lesson learned here... just spend the 3 extra dollars on a nice fish that will stay alive for more than 36 hours. Just sayin' guys.

Love,
