Panonine Tetra

Little rainbow
Tetra in waters clear and blue
Flowing scarves of panonine
With technicolored hues
Tiny dressed out Tetra
This small bowl is your home
In need of greener pastures
Of oceans to, yet...roam
Looking back outside the glass
To this empty room
I'm so like you tiny one
We both need room to bloom.
