Where the Kingfisher hunts
And lovers go to dream...

A kingfisher was all of a dither,
When he first saw thick ice on the river'
He cried "Golly-Gee!"
As he dived off a tree
But the impact made every bone quiver...

I painted a new bird today
neon pink, flashy blue, marigold yellow
long sharp pumpkin colored beak
God paused and laughed.
His angels grinned.
Best mood ever! 
Heaven rejoiced....

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....

A king fisher swooped down
into the silent waters at the noon
a flash of amber and blue
bobbed up sloshing- whoo
a silver fish dangling from its beak
like an ornate pendant, from that creek...

brilliant flash of blue 
Kingfisher dives in swiftly

perched on a gum tree
                                      kingfisher ogles the worms

silver fishes just 'neath the lake's surface,

          glisten like tails of watery comets;

                     oh, but one of them shall so soon perish

                               as, noiseless, a blue kingfisher plummets!...

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...

A kingfisher
would like to have no borders,
     no moongates.

            *

    Sleep not, when 
the moon rises. I will call 
    the moonflower.

             *

    The dusk 
has a short vision of 
    a crescent moon.

KINGFISHER


         Kingfisher smart red bird.
         Keen sharp eye sight to own.
         Keeps an eye on river.
         Knows to catch floating fish.
         Kindness lacks for fry too.
         Kinetic art to dive.
        Kudos in swooping down....

Happy pelican
eating an enormous fish
see his pouch bulging

Merry kingfisher
waiting on his pole for fish
he darts and spears one

Full of joy and fun
the skylark warbles in glee
delight in each note

Fearsome eagle drops
plummeting down like a stone
striking hard he kills...

A bee sipping nectar from a flower
A sparrow sipping dew from a leaf
A butterfly on his way to somewhere
Pays us a visit but it was only brief

A duck quacks out on the water
And we hear a Kingfisher splash
An elegant swan glides effortlessly by
And the dragonfly makes a dash...

Ins Wasser tauchend
Ein Eisvogel im schnellen Sturz
Fische seid wachsam

Diving into the water
A kingfisher in a rapid fall 
Fish be vigilant

Buceando en el agua
Un martín pescador en rápida caída
Peces tened cuidado...
