Notes About The Poem

Written 7/5/23 for the writing challenge - I - words, sponsored by Constance La France

Ibis

wetland water whirls
an ibis searches for crabs ~
foraging ballet

white feathers emerge
standing tall on bright pink stilts ~
bill crab prize displayed

grunts and cooing sounds
echo the wet marsh at dusk ~
ibis courting chant

Lin Lane Date: 7/6/2023 1:38:00 PM I really like comparing their whirls to a water ballet. Great composition, Tania. Login to Reply Tania Kitchin Date: 7/6/2023 4:11:00 PM Lin, thank you, hugs.

Charles Messina Date: 7/6/2023 9:01:00 AM Lovely haiku, Tania. Ibis are common in Florida. When I visit my family I see them all the time. Not too much in my neck of the woods though...New Jersey has a lot but few ibises. Nice! I wrote a Ibises haiku not too long ago. I like yours :) Login to Reply Tania Kitchin Date: 7/6/2023 1:21:00 PM Charlie, thank you.
