This is an attempt, and a very good one at that, of saying how beautiful nature is, how we can see everything in the most simple things. It doesn't matter if it is in the fish itself or in the oil that leaks from the engine, everything in life can be 'rainbow, rainbow, rainbow'. She lets it go because to do otherwise would be to intrude, to insert her will into the beauty of nature and this would be inappropriate.
One key to figuring out poetry ... go to the end of the poem and read the last bit. As in books and stories, a poem's theme, what it is really all about, is usually revealed at the end.

I examine this two times. the style you layer longer tale-appropriate prose is admirable, and something I even have plenty difficulty with. you're making it look trouble-free, organic, yet all individuals who write recognize the alternative is real. I in many situations degree the effectiveness of a bite via the style of TD's........Jealousy rears that is eco-friendly head. Kudos to you, Mr Carney.

Hi pretty, I read the fish and liked it. I don't know why some people have to analyze things so much but this guy did http://bcs.bedfordstmartins.com/virtualit/poetry/critical_define/psychoessay.pdf Couldn't find "vision."
