tango no sekku
carp shaped koinobori flags
blow with the current
silky paper carps
dangle on a bamboo pole
swallow the wind
on boys festival
koi streamers swim in the air
cherishing offsprings

In Japan, *koinobori (koi = "carp" and nobori = "flag") kites are proudly hung outside the home to wish children happiness, prosperity, joy, courage and health -- one kite per child.
