Blogging A to Z: B

Click on link for more A-Z

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.
