Ellis the Elephant Ear Betta

RIP 06-11-2013 - 10-28-2014

A Sonnet to Ellis

With extra wide, long, sky-blue elephant ears,
Ellis is the loveliest Betta fish,
Whose dark blue body impresses his peers,
And round, royal blue tail, makes them all wish,
They could be him, with clear orange-brown eyes,
Swimming so gracefully in clean, bright tank,
Playing at flaring, in his fearsome guise,
When shown a toy, to establish his high rank.
When feeding time comes, darts to the surface,
Flakes or pellets, choosing makes his day.
His flaring fins as fine as silken lace.
Zooming like a rocket to seize his prey.
There is one thing of which I can be sure,
Ellis will live in our hearts for evermore.
