Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Koi Pond

a lazy stream
meanders
under
sullen
midday sun

beneath
a rustic
wooden bridge
regal koi fish
ride
ceremoniously

humbled
glistening
glittering
rippling
gentle flowing waves

Quoth Theraven December 10, 2019 at 4:01 PM Line, I was attracted by the living jewels in your poem's title. Very nice symbolism with stream flowing to bright Koi pond. Many cultures admire Koi fish and associate the brightly colored carp with good luck and perseverance in the face of adversity. -Rich Line Gauthier December 10, 2019 at 6:37 PM Thanks for your most appreciated visit and comment, Richard.
