Great Blue Heron

.
                                           Great Blue Heron stood
                                        Thin as a flat toothpick split
                                            Camouflaged sky-blue

                                     Waits in knee deep blue water
                                         Silently creeps jolt attack

Robert Pettit February 10, 2011 at 10:40 PM I have seen many blue herons along the New Jersey shore. Your work describes them well in just five lines.
