L Milton Hankins Poet Rhyme

Denizens of the Low Country

Where the sandhill cranes gather,
I stand and watch the swans preen
In the morning sun near the bridge
Alone, except for a circling vulture
All denizens of the lowland culture,
Passing high over the flanking ridge
A red-tail hawk hereabout rarely seen
Above the warm, crystal blue water.

written February 19, 2022
(Using the reverse rhyme scheme
which I have discovered in so many
of my poems:  abcddcba)
