Fishy

 This was originally a class assignment to do an interpretation on William Blake's 'The Tyger' poem. 

Why the scales?

And why the fins?

Where, oh where, did you learn to swim?

And why you tail that flips away,

As you swim above the sand,

Day by day-?

Why your gills that help you breath?

-Underneath the rolling sea-?

And why your family?

So big they are,

That stay with you,

Near or far.

Oh why,

Dear fish,

Are all these things?

I hope someday that i will see,

The secrets beneath the rolling sea.
