Example: Poem
Well Wishes are Placed on the Curve of the Koi
Madellaine Ortea

Arching over the river bend, we pass the pond of prosperity,

The ripples wish you long life and happiness,
Waters of blue and green take you away from the gray city,
Follow the colors for peace and rest.

Like strokes of a brush, the koi fish swim,

We walk with gentle strides and straightened backs,
You stretch your hand on a whim,
But settle instead, with a gaze that's lax.

Know that this existence lives in intangible serenity.

The koi fish wish you long life and happiness,
Circling around your stream of thoughts, the clear waters of clarity,
This image wishes you the very best.
