In her poem "The Fish," Bishop evokes her feelings about catching a large fish and examining it closely. Her imagist technique showcases vibrant descriptions of the fish she caught:
its darker brown hue
resembled wallpaper:
patterns like fully bloomed roses
faded with time.
Instead of adhering to a particular rhyme scheme to create musicality, Bishop employs literary elements such as alliteration to produce rhythm in her poem:
still crimped from the strain and snap
She also incorporates a lyrical rhythm through assonance:
frayed and wavering,
a five-haired beard of wisdom
dangling from his weary jaw.
