A Poet's Dozen - Birds

birds interesting
a collection from nature-
all so beautiful

The Storm Petrel's are small birds that seem to hover,
little sea birds that appear to be walking on the water.

Loons unable to walk on land    they shuffle like old people-
oh so graceful and skillful underwater   can run across a lake . . . 

Rails just love eating dense green vegetation,
Plover's like to run across a sandy beach hunting;
Roosting on a building is the beautiful Pigeon,
Oh so remarkable the Hoatzin is intriguing;
And electric blue Kingfishers are truly amazing.
