Wildlife Poems

 Great Blue Heron

 He wades in the water
 Like a poised soldier.
A beak like a saber,
He gigs schools of fish.
His body, a sheath
When he's done for the day.
He'll fly to his base in a place faraway.
His babies are waiting for their skirmish of fish
While calling to Daddy,
 "Me first! Me first!"




Nature's Navy

Dolphin,
A mammal.
Abides in the sea.
Uses his sonar
Like a submarine.
Where have the fish gone?
He beaches them.
On the seagrassy shore.
Salutes people
He meets on the way
To cruise the creek
And frolic all day.
