we are koi
and we are happy
and lively
our colours
are more than gorgeous
– lucky us
so more food
as we open our
big mouths
chomp, chomp, chomp
so swallow quickly
then eat more
we’re fun guys
as everyone knows
– see you soon

This image shows a pond teeming with koi fish. They are of all colours and sizes. The pond water is greenish colour.

They’re like jewels, tumbling over each other when they think there’s food to be had, mouths agape for the goodies.

Love this, the kois sound so happy in your poem! I’ve always liked them, there is at least one park here in Fresno that has them. 😀
