Caren Krutsinger Poet Personification

We Koi Fish

we koi are not normally curious about debris dumped into our pond
This time things were different
A land animal had been dumped
One of the giant land animals!

We swam closer and found a channel open
Not that close! Papa Koi chided us
"I have seen their kind before.”
He had barely escaped one of them.

The pretty pink haired girl stared at the koi.
They were vibrantly golden, pretty.
She had consulted her runes this morning.
She was to find the leader; but how?

Bill Baker December 22, 2021 at 7:05 AM This is a stiry in the making, a story to tell children, or to intrigue all readers. Great hook, drew me right in. Now I have to finish the story in my imagination later in a time of quiet relaxation. Thanks Caren. You are full of mystery, Bill Caren Krutsinger December 22, 2021 at 9:26 PM Tank you Bill. I smile at this comment.
