Freedom Leaps Constanza

On moonlit bay do herons row With swerving curves their plumes unfurl As white-bleached robes dip into twirls. Forms pose around the ridge, aglow Allowing limbs to flaunt contours While breezes watch near migrant lure. Down shoreline wide, beaks sting a blow To feast on prey before long flight And rest through foams of soft twilight. Mid-air, flock wheels a graceful flow Ascending high on crowns afire Like lofty rite along sky’s lyre. And high above,birds croon...hello! Where freedom leaps, a nature’s gift Inspiring herons’ roam, adrift. On moonlit bay do herons row Forms pose around the ridge, aglow Down shoreline wide, beaks sting a blow Mid-air,flock wheels a graceful flow And high above, birds croon...hello!

This poem soars using a subject not quite expounded on a regular basis.I just have to say I think these stanzas on herons are packed with imaginative, solid metaphors!
