    It has to be a baby bird, the tragedy is it fell out of the nest and left to die, you can't use a full grown bird.

    Thank you very much for your time, kind review ,and helpfull feedback.

Loved this because of the portrait of both the heron and the narrator. The heron is a solitary creature as he hunts but the narrator is suffering morose grief and wishes to scream along with the heron.

So well formed. This poem provides an apt response to a form of poetry. The poet conveys a moving word picture of an image, feelings, of being human. A very evocative verse, the graphic was also well chosen. Keep on creating.
