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

Sotto Poet Date: 12/13/2021 8:04:00 PM An exquisite and humorous poem Valsa, magic in the candid world, a kingfisher's beads uncovered at the mid-day hour. Login to Reply Valsa George Date: 12/13/2021 8:20:00 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
