A Koi is a great
jumper, especially
when it's being fed

Koi-carps in the Pond - (unknown photographer).

i recall the fish.
it has a prominent part
in "Exorcist" lore.

#iykyk #haiku #DailyHaikuPrompt 'carp'

in "Legion", WP Blatty's sequel to The Exorcist, Detective Kinderman's thoughts (which are the meat of the text) often stray to the carp that is swimming in his bathtub...

I had a koi pond
lined with lotus and lilies
home for fancy carp

don't waste your warm breath
to revive a cold dead carp
rotting in the bank

#dailyHaikuPrompt - carp

Riverside ritual
Rod, line, bait, a dash of hope
And absence of carp

seize the carp
wobbling in your hand
seeking return to water

North: CARP

#carp in garden pool
under a thin sheen of ice
they all wait for spring

South: WARM BREATH

#warmbreath of the spring
the ice melts and fades away
orange colours bright
