Oh this is stunning! I love it all. The beauty of the Heron and meaning behind them. Gorgeous imagery and presentation. A great runner for the 5-7-5 contest, good luck!

Best Wishes
Nicki
P.S how do you add a 2nd imaged to your poem at the end do you just copy and paste I've never tried it!

no, my presentations are all my work and it is not a copy and paste, I use two different programs. It takes a long time but I enjoy it.

Thank you very much, Nicki

This is a beautiful 5-7-5 poem. There is something about white heron that excites me. They are such exotic creatures. Against the black background they are amazing. You last line has a duel meaning.

An excellent entry for the 5-7-5 Poetry contest. The White Heron is really one of the most graceful, beautiful birds. We had one who stayed near our backyard pond in Florida. Your poem does it justice. I love the final line. Nicely done.

-Very nice images and presentation, Gypsy.
-The heron is a beautiful bird.
-Effective imagery lets us visualize
the heron as it "wades through the lagoon."
-A good satori line.
-Thanks for sharing it and the notes, too.

I particularly love the satori line Gypsy, the ambiguity is very precious meaning is delightful and gives it the oomph that it needs to lift it into the stratosphere, well done, blessings Roy

Those are beautiful birds! We have them here and one flew on top of our neighbor's house. I wonder what it means! Lol. It's not a stork so they're not having a baby!
Anyway, I've been told that a white heron is called an egret - or great white egret. But you can call it a heron.

Thank you very much, big sister. The white heron is a favorite subject for Japanese haiku. It symbolizes many things.... gracefullness, spirituality, new beginnings.... etc....
