Koi fish
Reflect the rays,
Of glorious rising sun,
In pond of Japanese garden.
Shimmering with oranges, reds, and gold,
They swim through mirrors of bonsai,
Blowing surface bubbles.
Lazy day with
Koi fish.

Linda, there is something so beautiful about koi in a Japanese garden. There is such a place at Balboa Park in San Diego, CA and it's such a peaceful, relaxing spot.

Loved this sister ... huggles, Marti

(smiles) Oh my gosh, I love koi so much, just as I love sarassa comets, rainbow trout, and all kinds of fish! (kiss on cheek) Me and my mom worked together on our new pond two weeks ago, it is so gorgeous, we got all this flagstone and we encircled the hole for the pond with it, then we filled it up and put sparkling pebbles at the bottom and now we have 2 butterfly koi, 2 comets, and 2 regular koi in there! (kiss on cheek) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Noah ~

What a wonderful coincidence!--Or should I say it is wonderful synchronicity that I should write a poem on koi fish just after you made a fish pond with koi in it!

Thank you so much for the picture! Now other readers who are not familiar with this beautiful fish, will know what they look like!

Loves 'n hugs,
Linda
