Notes About The Poem

Zoetic Long-Legged Birds

Zoetic Long-Legged Birds 

A crane flew down and stood still on its stilts,
          their necks straighten in flights,
      a heron too would stand in silts,
                    of lakes or bights.

Heron's neck forms an "S" shape when they fly,
          functions like some egrets,
      beak's long versus shorten ally,
                    character sets.

The contrasts between herons and egrets,
          are plumage and their hues,
      cranes only eat plants--they're dead set,
                    holds distinct views.
