Rainbow Fish

Once inside of the large bathroom, Jimin turns the tub on and waits until it's at a good temperature and doesn't scorch the hybrids skin, then lets it run until it's halfway filled. He turns to Jungkook, "Do you want me to leave while you wash up?" Jungkook's eyes widen, "No no! Don't leave," then he quiets down as a blush covers his cheeks, "M-Master always cleaned me. I don't like cleaning myself." A nod comes from Jimin's end, "Well then let's get you out of these gross clothes, okay…

For colored girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow is enuf is a play by Ntozake Shange, inspired by and built from the stories of New York women of color who used to perform on bar countertops in Manhattan. The first thing I noticed when the actresses entered the stage were the costumes. While each character is represented by a color, all of them wear at least one item of another color. This seems to play with the theme of interconnection and sisterhood; these women might be…

Rough - Shock is a strange feeling. I find it’s best described by colors and sounds, not dissimilar to the way most things are described. If your life were a painting, would it have vibrant, spectacular colors swishing and swirling across the entire canvas, or would it have light pastels, boxed and cut into stacked, organized sections? Assuming that you will change, as all people do, (though maybe not at the same pace) do you think you’ll be able to recognize your own hues in 30 years? What…

….. Of Life, Taker of Souls People say that the eyes are the windows to the soul, if only they that really meant. If someone is lying, looking a person in they eye will allow to to see right through them. If a person is hurt, sad, or even heart broken, all you have to do is make eye contact to know what they are feeling. The same is for people who are are in love, happy, and glad. The eyes show and see all. But this is only a small part of what I can see when I look someone in the eyes.…

increased curiosity. I remember one of the children asking me about rainbows and why she couldn’t see one every day. I explained to her how rainbows usually appeared soon after it rained due to the water still in the air. I told her that sunlight has all of the colors in the rainbow, but we can’t usually see it. When the sun hits the water in the air it creates the rainbow in all its colorful glory. The next time it rained she saw the rainbow, and I watched as she explained to all of her friends…

month to promote to the LGBT inclusive community. An article “Let’s Stop Buying the LGBT Rainbow” by Samantha Allen states, “deploying the rainbow to appeal to the LGBT community is a relatively new but increasingly common form of “pink washing,” a term used by critics of corporate breast cancer campaigns to describe the profusion of pink merchandise that appears on store shelves every October. Some call it “rainbow-washing.” (2015). Even though the term itself is new, it goes back to the roots…

Ansuya walked briskly, head down, following the cracks in the pavement closely with her feet. Her dark brown hair fell in soft waves over her shoulders and obscured her face slightly. She was too distracted by her concentration to brush it away from her tired brown eyes. The rubber souls of her sandals had to fall just so, parallel to each new crease in the ground. This was often a difficult task, as the brick streets of Mumbai’s suburbs were full of cracks and damage caused by the decades of…

a popular pet fish because of its colorful scales. However, many fish lovers know little about them. So, here are some facts you may want to know in case you are interested in having a rainbowfish in your household. Vanessa Voltolina wrote in her article for the PetMD that there are more than 50 species of rainbowfish, but the neon dwarf rainbowfish, Madagascar rainbowfish, salmon red rainbowfish, and threadfin rainbowfish are the common species that are made into pets. This fish got its name…

In Moore’s and Bishop’s “The Fish,” both poems dive below the surface describing a thing or place. Elizabeth Bishop’s take on her “Fish” poem is about how she gained respect for this wounded, old creature. While Marianne Moore’s reports a whole other world below ours, and how our dismissive ways turned this once beautiful place into a damaged, polluted one. The different takes on these poems named, “The Fish,” describe the special significance for an area or being, yet are unlike in attitude…

The anniversary of the death of my beloved friend and protector, Blitz, passed yesterday. Blitz was a tri-colored Collie who was a prince of a dog. When the wind ruffled his fur or he pranced he was the epitome of canine royalty. Blitz was a gentle soul who loved nothing more than to be with his family. We did everything possible together. Throughout his life he suffered from digestive ailments which caused him to feel unwell and quiet oftentimes. As I, myself, suffer from medical issues which…
