Requiem For My Channel Catfish (Senryu) Poem by NHIEN NGUYEN MD
Requiem For My Channel Catfish (Senryu)
My channel catfish
"The little shark", "King of pond"
Its life was just gone.
My channel catfish
Biggest fish of my Koi pond
Died one summer morn.
My eyes fill with grief
Twenty seven years ended
Oh my dear catfish!
In garden, it rests
Among flowers and insects
Crickets sing my blues.

He was a bold and powerful king of that pond for much of my own life! He will be missed.
