Piranha

Satire, perhaps.

You said I live life in a fishbowl 

I've taken my risks, so here I float

within the confines of glass houses

you've had your fun & judged

beware the stones you hail

piranhas  once surfaced here

Author's Note

Felt compelled to write something for that absurd picture!

I knew someone with a piranha in a tank once..I like your piranha(s) better than his
I like the use of the word "perhaps"..you extend that word into the glass houses and beyond.
My friend Bill's sister studies psychology and says that everyone has at least one thing wrong with them. He said it comforts him...
Maybe that should be passed along to the one that said you live in a bowl?
Maybe it'll neutralize their projectionist insecurities a tad, and the piranhas can stay cute and awesome instead of avengers..although I enjoyed that movie
time will tell
parts of this reminded me of a hamster cage with cool tunnels connecting different cages..used to love that stuff as a kid...but yeah, nice work, Frieda

Only one? I'd say she's pretty optimistic on that stand...I hardly know anyone who'd fit the bill, we're all flawed, it's acceptance of the piranha that's key. That's for your review, enjoyed it. :-)

:D glad you enjoyed. Much obliged as my Justin Bieber photoshoot look alike friend Liz just said

I say acceptance is a good avenue to go down, even through the bad neighborhoods

[Frieda P]

I would so agree with you on that one...and the Bieber, really? He is kind of pretty....

[Shmoke-Sifted Heftlander]

he probly chills with mostly pretty people too...ha

Good play on words, very clever

[Neville]

Well you done good then. A nicely scripted four liner, probably satyre personified if I read/interpret correctly. If I'm a million miles off target, who cares? This was still an enjoyable little read... Could it also read - 'beware the stones you hurl' ......?

We all know you have teeth ( to bite the biters!)....... but in a marvellously articulate mouth! P.

[Baby Ricochet]

Nice one

[Frieda P]

Thanks Baby, it was fun.

[Rita L. Sev]

I feel fairly warned - those piranhas look fierce! I like the "glass houses" analogy a lot - in a few lines, you have made it your own. Great piece!

[Frieda P]

Glad you got that Rita, ha don't be afraid...I had their tongues removed. ;-)

[quinfinn]

who says you live your life in a fishbowl? let me at him! where you come up with some of these writes is beyond me, but they are always entertaining, no doubt. well done!

[Frieda P]

Ha no one huckleberry, this one was just for fun...although half truths to it.

[Marc Marlon Villaflor]

Looks mad :) Lol cool pic, love the statement, few words but dangerously gorgeous words play. Great job Frie :)

[Frieda P]

Thanks Marc, glad you enjoyed this one.

[Dr. Wood ?]

It wasn't me wot threw the stones HONEST!!!!!

It was THEM!

Great picture and you do it justice with this imaginative if scary write

[Frieda P]

Only scary when the piranha surfaces again, thanks dr.

[Marie]

I like the photo. But if those were piranha, I'd get my head out of that bowl pretty quick.

[Frieda P]

Hard to say Marie, they look pretty innocuous to me.
