Imagery/Word Choice
"The Fish" poem is my favorite of the eleven poems we had to read this week. This poem was my favorite for many reasons. The two main reasons for this is the imagery the poet created, and the words she choose in order to create such imagery. The description of the oil spills creating a rainbow in the water, making so the only thing the fishermen was seeing was the rainbow. Rainbow, rainbow, rainbow. It was because of seeing that the fishermen decided to let the fish go. That and the five hooks that were in the fish's mouth previously. The way the poet describes the fish gives me the picture that the fish is a strong fighting fish. Because of the line where the fisher says that the fish did not fight made me believe that maybe this time the fish has had enough and was ready to give up the fight.
