L Milton Hankins Poet Nonet

Koi Pond

Blue sky reflecting in the koi pond
Rays of the golden sun sparkling
Bringing koi to the surface
Wanting to be admired
Showing their colors
Glistening scales
Like rainbows
Colors
Gold

And
Orange
Tone breaking
Surface for food
Causing wide ripples
To float on the surface
Where embracing the sun rays
The koi pond rapidly glimmers
Like cut diamonds will scintillate.

Sotto Poet July 12, 2021 at 8:30 AM You made your own trophy Milton, and you deserve it with this exciting and exquisitely penned Nonet. Great job L Milton Hankins July 12, 2021 at 9:10 AM Thanks, Lasaad. The trophy was certain unintentional, but interesting how it turned out. Thanks for your thoughts.

Terry Flood July 12, 2021 at 5:20 AM Spot on, Milt. Until I sold up 6 years ago. This was my business. I owned an aquatic and angling centre, selling Koi and other pond fish, tropical fish and angling equipment. You’d be surprised how many people say Koi Carp which actually means carp carp. Full marks for accuracy and for your poem. Terry L Milton Hankins July 12, 2021 at 9:11 AM Thank you so much, Terry. You speak with authority on the subject, and I am so happy you responded positively to my poem.

Tom Cunningham July 12, 2021 at 1:42 AM Our neighbour used to ask me to feed his koi when he was away, so relaxing to watch and as you said, the amazing colours. Love the layout. Enjoy your week. Tom L Milton Hankins July 12, 2021 at 9:11 AM Thanks, Tom. So good to hear from you. Hope you have a fantastic week.
