Valsa George Poet Rhyme

Kingfisher Magic

A king fisher swooped down
into the silent waters at the noon
a flash of amber and blue
bobbed up sloshing- whoo
a silver fish dangling from its beak
like an ornate pendant, from that creek

Rico Leffanta December 14, 2021 at 10:44 AM Enjoyed (in the long ago, I had a favourite place where a kingfisher regularly fished, and its splash would regularly incite a beavertail splash). Valsa George December 15, 2021 at 5:22 PM There are places, these birds frequent where they know they are sure to get a catch ! Thank you so much, Rico !

Sotto Poet December 13, 2021 at 8:04 PM An exquisite and humorous poem Valsa, magic in the candid world, a kingfisher's beads uncovered at the mid-day hour. Valsa George December 13, 2021 at 8:20 PM A Kingfisher always come up with a fish dangling from its beak. They are experts at catching fish and I have often wondered at their magic. Thanks a lot dear friend Lasaad
