Maclawrence Famuyiwa Poet Roundel

The golden stain

The golden stain of the sunshine
Made the sea water shine like gold
And gave egrets at the coastline
The golden stain.

The egrets came with their household,
To make the water like their shrine,
Their beaks and wings defied the cold.

Young egrets stayed at the shoreline~
Their playful nature they unfold,
Still gifting the twilight skyline
The golden stain.
