The Water Bird
Water
Bird like
The ducks and geese
Sails
The
Glassy
Pond
Waters
With a flattened bill
With a long curved neck
Water repellent plumage
Two long pointed slippery wings
Like a ship dancing on the sea, it sails and it sings
With short swaying tail and short motor legs
It propels with spider, webbed feet
This great white galleon ship
glides and glides the surface
of the glassy pond waters upon the hill………………………………………………………………………
