Bolero
one flippant fish
swims to Bolero
in a time-worn rite
partners to a lure
of the painted ladyreaching out to other
fluid tangling
at the edge of space
bubbles into lightits watery nebula
flash frozen in a single globe
Bolero loops
again and again

really liked the flow (sorry for pun) of this poem
Dear Tumblewords: Love your modernist approach almost minimalist (is that what fractal means?)in concept. Interesting name; Bolero as in Spain. I thought it a spanish vest. Now I know there are also a time-honoured ritual of fish returning (what kind?). Can I guess? Flippant meaning I think Flipper and Flipper was a dolphin. Excellent take as always! Clean and refreshing fractal!
I love your poem and I heard 'Bolero' playing in my head.... I hope you mean Maurice Ravels 'Bolero'? Well anyway -- your lovely poem set the tone for the musical score and I loved it.

skillfully crafted poem!

Apart from now having to seek out Bolero to familiarise myself - I really like this one. Nice and dense and full of rich images.
fascinating take on the prompt...a moment captured for all eternity. great magpie!
Ravel's Bolero, on a loop..beginning, end, the same..so zen! The things poetry lets us see!! Thanks...
SWMBO hates Ravel's "Bolero", I enjoy it. Maybe it's the monotony of my existence! At any rate, nice poem, Tumblewords.
I love the ethereal of your words...
Sue,
Bolero is a favorite of mine!
Moments frozen in time like memories.
nice!

Forever looping unaware(maybe?). Depressing in a way...but good, definitely good.
Ravel would have been proud...
Life looping to Bolero is insanely brilliant!
