early morning walk
     breathing in salty sea air --
           an egret takes flight.

hear the rattle of the clapper rail
buffer of strong seas
grassy refuge of the great egret

. . . gray mist whiffs low

                 egret, buffalo's back

                           weeds green, mud black . . ....

That chooses to follow the herd
Because it can't find
A girl who is kind
Or a man as good as his word...

Two on bank look longingly 

Egret stands on one's back ...

Black egret
You had come to take
The half-flower child
Though your plans wilted
Like the petals of her skirt
From a single stroke of her hand...

But not in the direction

Flea bites round my ankles...

Egret

      Over still waters
      Elegant as the day fades - 
      A pair of Egret

white Egret in flight
                                           mint green trees surround lily pond
                                                      in soft morning mist....

After Forgetting To Fret

Ego is like a flying egret
Foolish and he found regret
Showed off his big wings
Ego to him sadness brings
Run over after forgetting to fret.

A half- moon is punched 
into the sky washed with sea 
tints this August morn'.

The wings of a young 
snow- white egret are spread,
as he hovers, and dips

into the water-
fall. The deep robicund land
surrounds the river....

Transforming square peg
for a round hole,
a bird nest of an ark
holds secrets within 
each crevice.
Surface metamorphoses,
in flight a snowy egret.

The night is calm
As fire light glows
At my campsite.

A white egret
Takes to flight, much
To my delight.

How bright the stars,
Glinting quite high
Within my sight.
