Robert A. Dufresne Poet Haiku

Natural Opera

Sand Hill cranes winging,
Honking not singing,
My ears are ringing.

Hundreds overhead,
V form towards sunset red,
Heading home, well fed.

Strong wings beating air,
Joy. Solidarity there. 
Nature, fine and fair.

The sight fills my chest,
Nature fulfilling her quest,
I, an honored guest.


for Carol Brown's "What's the Buzz"contest.
