B is for Blue Heron

With legs long

like a daddy spider,

she wades on stilts

through water lilies tatted

to the top of the river

then frees her wings

to become

a great butterfly

reflecting the dance of sun

like a silver laced kite

floating on a draft

then circling

slowly

earthward again.
