The Fish

The Fish is a short poem written by Elizabeth Bishop. When I first read the poem I really thought it was just anout a fish and did't have much of a meaning to it. Then it was discussed in calss and I learned in further detail that the poem was really thought to be a war poem as though the fish was like a soldier, containing battle wounds and being a hero. The fisherman, I assume looked at the fish as if it was a soldier and let it go. Or he may have felt sorry for the little fish and let it go. Other details about the poem are that it doesn'r rhyme, it is about 2 pages long,and really not too hard to comprehend.
