Betta Poetry


Water Butterflies

Colored water butterfly
of rainbow hue
i sit and watch you swim
with you endless river of blue.

Colored water butterfly
silky soft wings
your the color of the rain
your the image of my dream

splended small butterfly
you swim by my heart
seem to grab i and pull me in
to your beautiful ranbow cart.
- Caitlin Taylor


With Beauty and grace,
from crowntail to black lace,
these swimming works of art
I will always hold in my heart

With colors from red to bright blue,
yellow, copper and even an opaque hue.
These fish will shine and glimmer,
though they may not be the best swimmers

Fish so intelligent and wise
they look at you straight in the eyes.
They seem to know what's on your mind,
and they are the best listeners you can find

Never knowing a fish could be
so smart and beautiful you didn't see.
But this is no ordinary fish,
for a betta splenden is what we wish.
- Jessica Bloch


Ode To The Beautimous Betta - A Shakespearian Sonnet

When little fishies catch a breeder's eye
With reds, and golds, and purples so unique
We cannot help but exhale one small sigh
And look to chaos fate has yet to wreak

A betta's love is fickle to be sure
I know his little wife is very cute
Caudals like that have oh so much allure
Such succulent and tasty snacks to boot!

And when done with domestic violence
Its not enough she looks like she's been shot
After the eggs are laid, is he that dense?!
NOW your male will doze for all he's got

They hatch! and so you think you're not outdone
Some lived, but now, he's eaten every one

...written because you KNOW you should know better by now... but you crazies keep breeding the durn things! ^.^
-Beth Horton


Mr Betta

Flashing, flaring, and darting
In a dashing dynamic display of colors
From satin red and royal blue
To sheen silver and glaring gold

All to impress the ladies
Biting, nibbling, like crazy
Sometime gentle, sometime detrimental
All for the transcendental vertical stripes

Finally the embrace of life
Then the strife to for the fries
Fry after fry and night after night
Before another flaring and darting display of life
- Peter T.


Fins a flare and sailing through
Colors so rich and darkening hue
His body hesitates as hes gliding by
He hopes to catch that females eye

She colors up and bars reverse
How many times has this been rehearsed
Ive watched them both grow since they were fry
Ill watch them both till the day they die

Am I the only one who will enjoy this sight
Fins fully opened like wind filled kites
I hope many will pass my way
So they can see, what will they say
-Mike Walter


The crystal flowing
Rising half moon blossoms
Blue eye glint
-Missy Kresse


Betta Haiku (owner's perspective)

My crimson betta
Swims, flaring at his mirror
Rival! Be gone from here!

Betta Haiku (Betta's perspective)

Gnashing, Crashing, Flare!
I puff out my fins at you
I win! The Card returns.

Worms! Oh delicious!
I chase them, I slurp them down
I laugh at flake food
-Dave Steele

Since our chapter is already official as of the 15th of August 2008, I think it is already justifiable to have our own thread...^^
