Canal Life From Mom’s Patio

Posted on February 5, 2013 by

Sunrise showers gray green
shadows on goose-
bumped waters, flowing
ever leftward.  A canal
of camaraderie.   Ibis,
egrets, and heron bend
heads to peck at grasses
for chunks of bread
we have scattered.  Turtle
heads bob up like ancient
sea creatures.  Squirrel
club gathers at base
of banyan tree, nibbling
nervously, alert to encroaching
enemies.  White wings lift
in perfect time, ballet dancers
gliding skies.
