The belted kingfisher is a cool dude, But his girlfriend is even brighter hued. He's loaded with dazzling features, but What I like best is his spiky haircut....

The Kingfisher
The kingfisher is the diving tip of a rainbow, a chromatic splinter, a deadly certainty piercing sky and water. All morning it has perched high atop a dead tree. The sun rose softly (good for fishing), but now it glares and deflects the eye, yet here in this swift instant, a gaudy arrow of light, plucks a small silver fish out of nowhere, rises until it...

The Kingfisher
I remember I got up earlier than usual A bright summer morning with no one around I crossed the road onto the country path And made my way along Past the farmer’s reservoir Through the long grass of a fallow field And over the stile I came to a little hamlet without a name Not much to speak of A handful of thatched cottages...

"Look around and see how birds and animals disclose the secrets of self survival and display how their bodies are streamlined to excel in their art"- By Poet In the twisting tangle of the mangrove Where eye can’t see beyond leaves Sits a kingfisher, very alert, Without the smallest quirk or quiver. Its wings are bluer than the blue skies, And...

A flash of colour, fast in flight Oh kingfisher, what joy you incite This walk on just a simple day Attempt to shed layers of grey You are here with orange and blue My mood is switched to different hue I dragged my feet, weighted by woes So many troubles sought to enclose Your own habitat is under threat But you carry on, don't...

Soaring in orange kingfisher blue in the sun beyond red roses Afternoon has come softly smothered by the summer heat Oblivious bird making the most of each day by still silver lakes Trills dawn to sunset curtains purple and wrapped in diamonds...

"The Kingfisher" Easters fast escape us like every Christmas comes and goes like a Graduation where the parent is excluded and the lost prodigious progeny eventually makes their quest for an elusive Holy Grail buried under shale or burnt ashes floating on air, where, the breeze pushes back remnants onto your face, into your eyes, the windows open, or, dives, following the purple agapanthas, submerged five fathoms below; once was certainly...

Winter winter ! Oh, when will you go away, chirps the Kingfisher bird in a frosty tree; then, suddenly snow is melting one spring day, now, the Kingfisher is happy and carefree. He sits on a bare branch in nature's decay, in a flash he dives for a spring fish buffet; his stream ripples and glistens in the sunshine, and now each...

Premium Member My Kingfisher Neighbor
My kingfisher neighbor finally flew in. I had been luring him with bits of fruit. But it was the first time I had walked away. I should have walked away sooner, I thought. He was a polite lunch guest. He sat quietly, not attempting to devour anything without an invite. I had fed him from the window but did not...

Moorhen
A good friend once told me that kingfishers know the secrets of the universe But dear friend, what about this moorhen on the rivers verge? And as I sit and wonder what my moorhen thinks Around me dance bright thistles of pink A river ripple rides the collected current Long green reeds exist with no need to repent A family...
