King Fisher

Sailing low over the rich waters eyes alert
Wings majestic as your name suggests.
The bluish grey feathers off set with a white neck ring
Descriptive crown above your head
Wings magestic as your name suggests
Allows you to soar across the spring.
Descriptive crown above your head
No gold nor silver can be more pure
Allows you to soar across the spring.
The bluish grey feathers off set with a white neck ring
No gold nor silver can be more pure
Sailing low over the rich waters eyes alert.


Pantoum for contest by Paula 
Belted King Fisher
