Betta Poem

[Jaded12]

Lol, I just wanted to share my little poem with other betta lovers


"Somewhere... somewhere in times own space
I know there's some great tropical place
Where rivers sing, and warm streams flow
A special place where bettas go
For with the love that guides my pen
I know great bettas live again"

very awsome!

it started off with a betta called flood,
a vt who's colour was red like blood,
a big bubble nest he started to builda
but not long later got sucked up the filter.

then a female called flossy our favourite betta
came along and made us all better.
hours of pleasure while she played with the pleco
another fish rescue from our favourite petco.

crystal and shandelle all pink and white
are two naughty girls but there really alright
they think there the queens and can get quite bossy
but the real queen will always be my little flossy.

dragon a vt i bought from petsmart
you should see him he really is a work of art
red and green his colours quite buff
but my girlfriend thinks hes cute and keeps calling him puf.

Cairo is my newest plakat
hes copper and gold
like hes wearing a jacket

i watch them all for hours
a pleasure in my life
taking away all the stress and the strife

ive got bettas in tanks cups and in a jug
i really have been bitten by the betta bug

I really like that line "Not long later got sucked up a filter" I know that's really sad if it actually happened! But the way it's worded is hilarious. You're both very creative!!

Heres one I did last year its a vilanelle I was doing ou poetry!
My beautiful betta has now lost the war
Did he fight to the very end?
His empty bowl discarded on the floor


The cat his enemy, head resting on his paws
Does he know he took my friend?
My beautiful betta now has lost the war

His rainbow hues sadly are no more
His colours such a pretty blend!
His empty bowl discarded on the floor

He used to tease the cat but nevermore
He has had his final punishment
My beautiful betta now has lost the war

Waken cat you evil conspirator
Did you really mean to offend?
His empty bowl discarded on the floor

The cat stirs and emits a contented purr
Shiny scales on his damp fur.
My beautiful betta now has lost the war
His empty bowl discarded on the floor

*snaps fingers in applause*

Lovely poetry everyone! Liz2, your poem is so heart wrenching!

 

[liz2]

totally wrong according to tutor, too many cliches, not good topic etc etc.

 

[Phaedra]

Pfft. I've always been of the opinion that poetry is too personal to be properly critiqued. I thought it was lovely.

 

[puppyduck]

Hmm here's my attempt.


I have a betta called Steve
He doesnt like it when we leave
He swims around his tank
his name isn't Hank.





I'm not talented in that area.

Thats a beautiful song !! i couldn't stop reading it! i was drooling (i wasn't really drooling)
