Best Bittern Poems

I am the reed

Beak to the sky
Swaying in the breeze

I am the reed

I don't want to die
Don't see me please

I am the reed

There's nothing here
But swaying grass

I am the reed

My greatest fear
Please just pass

I am the reed

I am the reed

I am the reed

 a faint booming note 
 deep in the everglades marsh ~ 
 a bird seldom seen 

 it's distinctive call 
 like a pebble drop in stream ~
 elusive bittern
