Watching fish is very calming I agree.

Nice one. I would enjoy mine, but I have one of those gigantic old glass ones. So cleaning it is quite the challenge.Good job though.

Very true and well composed.

Lovely poem, Christine. I like the descriptions and also the way lines flow along, a bit like the fish swimming, really.

so true…and maintenance is so easy..you can leave them for days without worry…

Your words are very true Christine, i love my fish, we have now got two large aquariums and a large Koi pond in the garden, so peaceful and relaxing to watch, great article and pics too,

very best Aaron x

Good poem. At least you son has bought a large tank. I always feel there is something sad about a single goldfish endlessly circling round a tiny glass bowl.

Well expressed, Christine. Your son had a small world to retreat for comfort. Aquariums are nice hobbies indeed.

Well done!

This is very good. I have a fish tank too and watching the fish is very relaxing.

Sounds very relaxing/stress relieving indeed, another fantastic poem my friend (:

What a beautiful poem. Yes, an aquarium is very calming. My brother has one in his home too. Love the imagery. great write

I loved this. Any time of quietness, solitude, introspection or nature appreciation can bring a lot of calmness. Well expressed.

So interesting and true

Yes very true I find that our fish and tank and very relaxing especially hearing the bubbles at night when we sleep

A very peaceful, relaxing poem. Aquariums are a lot of work to keep clean. My dad used to keep fish, it can be an expensive hobby. I think I’ll stick with fish swimming across my computer monitor.

I have a small aquarium for my gold fish! It does not ease my stress but I do love my fish. An enjoyable read.

Very lovely piece… you have described so wonderfully and I agree with you totally! Thanks!

Thank you for reading and commenting. My son loves the fish and says it is well worth the effort of cleaning them out when they give him so much pleasure.

Thanks for sharing this Christine, they are so soothing and relaxing aren’t they, it sounds like you enjoyed it very much too. Lovely poem to go with it, I hope you had a wonderful visit.

Watching fish swimming around is very relaxing.

Enjoyed read. Lovely and well expressed.

Great read.

thanks for the share….good work

interesting, I don’t keep aquarium at home, but at my workplace those guys keep one at our area, their job to maintain and feed, and my job to admire the beautiful tank, hahaha..

good observations Christine, my wife has been longing for a long time that i get her an aquarium. guess, reading your post will compel me to do so.

I have two large fish tanks with an interesting assortment of fish in both…watching fish swim around is soothing and relaxing for me too…and they each have their own ‘personality’ ~ wonderful piece Christine

Very enjoyable reading

Nice peaceful read. My daughter and her boyfriend have saltwater tanks. I could watch their fish for hours, it does have a calming effect.

Lovely !
So well written! Wonderful!

I am glad your son loves his fish and finds them amusing and relaxing. I never could relate to fish that I had as a child, or see why people would consider them pets. I just think of what boring lives they lead.

Great to keep in mine.

I liked your writing. They had a large aquarium at my son’s school. All the little boys loved the ugly fish that clean the tank.

I agree. Seeing fish and rearing pets as well has a thereupetic effect to ease and relieve stress. This has been proven scientifically.

Sooo Amazing aquarium. I definetely agree that aquarium can ease stress…I hope one day I can have my own aquarium.Thanks Christine.

A wonderful poem. I remember having one but my cat made a feast out of the fishes.. too bad

Fish are so calming, they are much better than TV to keep your nerves calm. TV can make you a nerveous wreck.

Beautiful poem with vivid images.

i totally agree with you, a very soothing poem , i love this

You have educated me.

A truly relaxing read.

So lovely is your write Christine,and I adore the interest you show in your son.
Fish are wonderful floaty swimming creatures,yes calming indeed they are.
Nice photos

And I’ve been thinking about getting an aquarium…

I guess we should have one too.

I enjoyed watching the fishes with you, sharing the soothing and relaxing feeling that you so eloquently described. Well done.

I didn’t know you were watching me so closely. I love my fish and I only have to look at them and they calm me down. They are quite hard work to look after though.

Many people find watching an aquarium relaxing. Good poem Christine!

Its truly relaxing and stress relieving. Chinese have different kinds of fishes for aquarium with different purposes, like for luck, austerity, and even for sickness.
Remarkable poetry!
As if, on everything you see, you can outburst a poem out of it and the result is a rare and astonishing one.
Thumbs Up!

I mean prosperity not austerity!
