Best Cormorant Poems
alert cormorant
dives for fish in eventide …
…hooked prey hears death knell

Birke/Birch/Abedul
Im sanften Abendlicht
Wehen die Blätter der Birke
Goldfähnchen im Wind
In soft evening light
The leaves of the birch flutter
Golden banners in the wind
En suave luz de la tarde
Ondean las hojas del abedul
Banderitas de oro en el viento
------------------------------------
Wildgänse/Wild Geese/Gansos Salvajes
Im verlierendem Licht
Der schrille Ruf der Wildgänse
Vorbote des Winters
In a fading light
The shrill calls of wild geese
An early sign of winter
En una luz apagando
Agudos gritos de gansos salvajes
Precursor del invierno
Kormoran/Cormorant/Cormorán
Über tanzendem Schilf
Im hohen Baum auf der Lauer
Sitzt wartend der Kormoran
Above rocking reeds
A cormorant in his look-out
Lurking from a high tree
Sobre el cañaveral
En un alto árbol está al acecho
Un cormorán está esperando
Seagulls summer sailing
Gliding on thermal air
Green-eyed cormorant
Looks with disdain aware
How screeching gulls do chant.
Seagulls summer sailing
Swiftly land on sailboat
Birds behave quite frisky
The shore is now remote
Ocean breeze blows briskly.
Seagulls summer sailing
Arrogance on the mast
Such hubris with feather
After seafood repast
Perfect life of pleasure.
Seagulls summer sailing
Along the coast they screech
Cormorant still on watch
At antics on the beach
Green-eyed disdain unleashed.

Breath of fresh air on Christmas Day
To walk cliffs briskly and view the sea
Boat's in the harbour, anchors away
Silent good wishes to sailors from me.
Ragged cormorant on favourite rock
Immune to all festivity
Gimlet eyes sharp he takes stock
Consumed by fishing activity.
Blustery air blows quickly on my walk
Unexpectedly seeing flash of colour
Distracted when those seagulls squawk
Christmas gorse with winter pallor.
Walking briskly all cobwebs blown away
Stop to admire village Christmas tree
Completely energised for special day
Seasonal greeting everyone from me.
Swoops low wings dipping
Serpentine neck held rigid
Feathered & tarred slick
