Best Egret Poems
An EgretI watched an egret on a pond take flight
and hid as best I could against a tree,
not moving, breathless staying out of sight.
Remembering, I close my eyes and see--
the view! A sweet reward for all my pains,
it flew with whooshing wings right over me!
Today,...

Song of The White Egret Orchid No 5: ABBAFlowers have that novel effect on schism,
where the uniqueness of its design forms
compare that White Egret Orchid performs
like its namesake, chicken or the egg, ism
being afloat plume or the blooming grews.
Soggy-bottom boys and girls 'tis they want
of this bit of a ground-hugger-like haunt.
Sophistication hails for...

Carabao EgretKnee-deep in flowing, verdant grass
near the creek beside
the hill,
a black carabao feeds on freedom,
leisurely roams
at will.
On its massive back, a delicate,
white egret
slow-dances,
the feathers of its slender neck
the morning breeze
romances!...

EgretElegant bird of lakes
Enchanting in white plumes;
Egret twirls graceful neck
Exotic its coiled form…
Each winged movement, a glide
Endowed by nature’s art
Embodying beauty!

a snowy egret hunting ~
sharp beak and big feet

The Fair Girl and the Black EgretIn a river marsh, where pondweeds and cattails grew in warm clime,
the fair girl found a tall, black egret
with whom she could have a chat;
and was it the same one that her parents rescued from the wild?
Among bulrushes taller than she actually...

The Sole EgretThe sole Egret
White against the dark marshes
On the way to school
Wet in the drizzle
Yet present each morning
It had missed the migration
So each day as we passed
My daughter Zahra would exclaim
Dad, here she is!
We had lost count until the day
It left perhaps for good
Perhaps...

Sole Egret IiThen one day
in balmy Florida morning
on the way to school
We saw it
the sole egret in the marshes
feeding on an early worm
Yeah ... we screamed
my daughter Zahra and I
Yehoo! Yehoo! Yehoo!
Sometimes the things
that you fear the most
never actually happen
