Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
He's a fisher!
That Heron by Shirley Ann Bunyan
Sedoka Poem writing prompt entry

The Great Blue Heron
spreads his mighty wings across
the vast expanse of marshlands.

That damned Heron spies
my captive fish from afar
and, relentless, tries his luck.



Writing Prompt
For this challenge you will write a sedoka.
This is a Japanese form that consists of two unrhymed poems that MAY show the same scene from two different perspectives or angles.
Each one has a syllable count of 5/5/7

Here's an example:

The cat's meowing
Pleads her case convincingly
Hunger gleams in golden eyes

Missus Smith's tutting
Suggests the cat's been eating
Far too much for her own good
