Your challenge: write an elegy for these poor critters or any other critter, real or imagined, who met a bizarre and untimely death.
Blended

I don't like much
modern art: I know
those fish didn't deserve
to depart the earth that way.

I wonder if the artist
would care to be blended?
Who would join me in saying
that would be splendid?

Wow, Chris, thanks for unearthing this thread. I have zero recollection of it, and the poem I posted doesn't even sound vaguely familiar to me.

Hi Roger

The mind plays tricks! It's often surprising what we don't recollect that we did.

all the best
