listen:
the curlew farewells
the autumn storm
Wanda Amos
across the great lake the call of a little grebe
Andre Surridge
lake’s edge –
in the ripples
heron on alert
Beatrice Yell
great white egret
on one leg
the water quivers
Myra King
lunchtime at the pond
ducks step across the backs
of surfacing koi
Maureen Sexton
silver plated—
a wood duck plumps rings
over water
Mira Walker
