So often people, caught in life's race are too hurried to take time to realize the beauty of this earth. Mother nature, though pragmatic, can exhibit quiet, astounding beauty. Your tribute to the Great Blue Heron acknowledges that beauty.
Excellent read.
Blessings to you and Merry Christmas, too.
Linda

Hi Mermaids - this is a lovely poem about a lovely bird. I've never seen a blue one. I see one by the millstream rgularly - stock still for ages, as if a statue, then he pounces. Loves this descriptive piece. Warm regards Dorothy x

You're so right. It is nature's gift of beauty. Love your descriptions. It is nature in motion. Also like the alliteration of C words. Reads smoothly. Line breaks are where they should be. Well crafted. Les

From nature comes inspiration
Taken with deep introspection
Watching the movement all around
Attentive to magic in nature's call

My poems recently touch
This magic of fairies sweet
All nature touched with a dream
That is reality known for free

They are a pleasure to watch aren't they. I used to go to a lagoon next to U.C Santa Barbara and watch then at noon every day while feeding the seagull with pizza bread throw out every day by a local pizza parlor.

Hi!

I really enjoyed this. I felt almost as though I were walking along with you. Serenely descriptive!

I have a particular affinity for birds ... mostly parrots. When I lived in California, we had 13 parrots ... quite a job to clean up after. But all birds have a beauty that most other creatures do not.

Loved your poem ... thanks!

Alan

    I can relate to having 13 parrots, I have six cats and a dog. Animals are so wonderful. Thanks for reading and enjoying. Elaine

You captured the beauty and grace
that a bird like the Blue Heron
give to us if we are there to witness
it. You are fortunate to experience it
and then to translate it in a poem that
it is well crafted. I especially appreciated
the lack of punctuation. Well done. -Bill

This work has reached the exceptional level

First of all, such a beautiful artwork. I love these great birds and so glad to be seeing them more and more. I believe they were on the endangered list not so long ago. But your writing of this Blue Heron is beautiful. I love to watch them also in the grace, just lovely. Thank you for sharing, best to you, Annie

Hi mermaids,

This is an excellent poem in praise of a magnificent bird which alas I have yet to set my bare eyes upon. The elegance of the bird and its effect is well described. R
