Koi, Emperor of Pond

He is the emperor of Pond
And so easy to be fond of
With his elegant grace
Will he be praised
Showing beautiful colours
Losing myself for hours
When I watch these creatures
Wondrous gift of nature
Living jewels from Japanese realm
Always swimming majestic calm
With names like Kohaku or Bekko
Likewise Kinginrin and Tancho
It depends how colours has been drawn
Upon the body of Koi's underground
White on red, or red on white
Maybe some black for a lovely sight
But what ever their colours will be
They are real emperors for me.

Charisma

To lose oneself in a pond of koi . . . I know how that can work.  Thanks for sharing.  Interesting approach to end rhyming.
