Observing the Koi

A koi pond brings meditation into vogue
She slows your heartbeats as you become one
With the gorgeous gold and black fish
One of the few you are not tempted to eat
or are you?

Oh no! Never. The koi are so beautiful and graceful and add so much to a pond. They don't ever eat them in Japan, do they???
