something fishy

marinated fish
goes into that flat frying pan
oh, splattered bliss

bliss leaks from sides
releasing smells into my brain
making mouth water

but fish seek coke

I am following it from about fish, chips, nothing much else. Go check that out too!

Why not write a poem or a story in exactly 160 characters each Sunday? Spaces included! Head for Monkey Man for Sunday 160!

PS: No, I wasn't cooking the fish. It is all imagination.

  1. new template, Gautami? :) seems ok, but the previous one sort of had a charm to it :D

    anyways, cooking something that tasty should definitely make the mouth water I think :) though not a fish fan myself ;)

    thanks for joining in at Haiku Heights :)
