Post 430 - Fishy for Freitag - updated to July 26

Haiku! Haiku! Gesundheit! 

When a koi is coy

Secreted stranding seaweed

Conceals cautious koi

Cartilaginous 

Splitting water, running hares

Gnathostomata

Ichthyology 

Not icky, but not sticky

Investigate carp

Fish founder, flounder

Worms, flies, baited hooks and lines

Sticks, scales, but no whales

Blurb, bubble, blubble

Kissed in brine, aloof, resigned

Friday night feasted

Four crystalline walls

Inhaling air wet with life

Finely floating fins

Dovetailed carpentry

Corporeality bound

Minds beyond, expand.

Eat our consumption

Spicèd, spikèd, balls of red

Hello, my vaccine.

Chronometers tick

Communicate the passage

Time enough for tock.

A catapult purrs

Spring paws to pausing spring

Tails tickled, top tales.

Where are my watches?

Bells sound, but no appointment

(Naps nicely) needed.

Inside holding breath

Puckered, tuckered epiderm

Shaking fears of fear

Thankful for tankful

Superficial aquatic depth

Neighbors wave silence

Food and light above

Things larger than they appear

Breathing my own sweat
