Hooked

Escapism beside the water’s edge, as misty dawn awakes 
Great crested grebes, dressed to impress, elegantly pass me by ~ 
I took the bait – gullibly distracted from encroaching on their morning feast.

Wendy, your beautiful words paint a lovely scene. Your theme "Hooked" and phrase "I took the bait" is very clever. And because of your poem I now know what a grebe is! Cheers!
