The waves
of olive green
lap weakly
on the muddy shore
and never succeed
in covering up
the dead fish.

I understand the nature connection and I can so see it applicable on other levels
Well done

This poem draws upon many of my senses. I can hear the waves weakly lapping on the shore. I can see the olive green water. I can feel the muddy shore beneath my feet. And, unfortunately, I can smell the dead fish. Sorry, but I refuse to taste them. Still, though, that's a lot of senses covered. Beautifully done, as usual.

I don't blame you. I wouldn't taste them either!
