Marianne Moore's "The Fish," (1921): [|"The Fish"] (link will take you to the text; video will allow you to hear it)

Moore's poem "The Fish" is one of the first examples here that combines the best of both Romantic and Modernist conventions. While the title of the work implicitly incorporates the effect of the words mimicking the way fish dart back and forth under water, there is a very intricate form employed. Try recording it. Can you see it?
