Wow, what a lovely and impressive piece of artwork you have that fully supports your verse... and I can imagine the dragonfly wings. Great verse to start you off this year. Good luck. May your day be filled with laughter and your year with blessings!

I enjoyed this traditionally formatted haiku. The denouement in the final line is very nice and brings in the beauty of nature.

very nice, should do well

Thank you for sharing your positive thoughts on this haiku. I did want to stick with the traditional format - since koi is very much an icon in Asian art and culture. Always happy to hear your feedback.

Very creative and beautiful, you painted a picture with few words. Underwater life is amazing. It gives a soothing effect on our mind watching fish and coral and such. The picture adds to your words. Great presentation.
