A stunning photo. The heron grieves with large sounds and the poet joins her sobbing as they both grieve.
Very beautifully written and presented, a poem that remains with you.
Best wishes,
Mary

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, exceptional six stars review ,and helpfull feedback.

Comment from dragonpoet
Hi MariVal,
This poem goes well with the artwork and has a strong metaphor with grief(feeling blue) and the color of the heron and also the sound of the heron sounding like sobs.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Have a great weekend.

Another fine poem, Gypsy----add my name to the screaming in solidarity with the blue heron, except the screamin in solidarity is where the similarities end; I hate fish, especially sushi!

Comment on this post this is another very good Japanese poem that you have written. You have presented it well. I just came through my surgery for having my gallbladder removed. I am doing well just in a little pain that's all. Patricia

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
Your style of poetry is amazing. Many of the poem's forms, I have never encountered before until now.
These kinds of blue herons are great in wading in the water. We are near the wet lands where they are vocal on the breeding grounds; they greet their partner with squawking roh-roh-rohs in a "landing call" when arriving at the nest. A disturbance can trigger a series of clucking go-go-gos , building to a rapid squawk that can last up to 20 seconds.

Sometimes a good scream is extremely effective. Thank you for sharing this poem with us. I'm curious what this great blue heron is grieving about. How he/she lost his/her mate? Anyway, this is a beautiful poem and package.

Comment from Verna Cole Mitchell
This poem presents a strong comparison of sound between the great blue herons and the poet. The sense of her unhappiness is deep as the poet shouts out her unhappiness in tune with the herons.
