A Japanese Garden

A dwarf of its kind
The majestic bonsai stands
Clothed in a jade robe

The colour of spring
Reflected in still water
Cherry pink blossoms

Tip splattered in white
The lofty peak of Fuji
Veiled in morning cloud

Autumn leaves dancing
As water flows freely down
A lively cascade

A red speckled Koi
Vying for a small morsel
Flicks its graceful tail
