Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Hovering

A helicopter hovered
In the east side New York sky.
It looked just like the hummingbirds
I spot in mid-July.

Its headlight darted left and right,
Like it was on a quest.
I wondered if the search was real,
Or was it just a test?

No boats were in the river
Over which the copter hovered;
That made me think that there was nothing
There to be discovered.

Some minutes passed and then it slowly
Chop-chop-chopped away.
Another New York mystery
To supplement my day.

Robert Pettit December 20, 2011 at 5:53 PM Perhaps it was one of those helicopters from one of your local television stations. You have written this piece quite well with your chosen words and rhyming.
