Matthew Anish Poet Blank verse

Seldom Seen

rare birds in 
view 
    amongst the reeds 
a site which onlookers 
have waited 
   long to see
It will be noted 
    in their annals 
a dream come true 
     for some 
Don't be put off 
   by the difficulties
   the bird takes flight 
and it's soon out of sight 
Yesterday a memory 
  Tomorrow a wispy cloud of hope 
Such as seldom 
    seen in this land
Take note of it before 
  it disappears into the mist

Zac Bern September 11, 2011 at 6:45 PM among the top 5 poems I've seen on here, it's understated and delicately expressed as good writing often is
