    Koi
    Coy you are.
    I saw you be a
    Koi in the pond
    When you swam by me.
    Coiling colors
    In swaying reeds...
    Then a duck came,
    So I ducked in the trees.

    cute. I think I should be able to just write 'cute' as anything more will either understate your poem take away from the fact that it really is cute. Which should be understated, true 'cute' in poetry is somewhat rare. There, that's 50 characters at least -that should keep 'em happy.

    Candis, thank you! :) I enjoyed writing it and I will be by to read you also. Again, many thanks for the kind comment.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
