Gypsy,
Since the scarlet ibis is front and centered in your artwork, "wades" makes more sense.
Do appreciate your author note and commentary.

Comment from GWHARGIS
I found this poem absolutely beautiful. It was interesting that the artist found it perfectly natural to put an ibis in a marshy poppy field. Artistic license I guess. Lol. Beautifully written. Perfect for the picture. Gretchen

Yes, it's probably a dream ... the painting is called " scarlet ibis and red poppies "
Thank you very much, Gretchen. It's always good to hear from you. Have a wonderful day or night.

Comment from shelley kaye
is "ibis" 1 or 2 syllables?
because if it's 2, the count is 6-7-5 (18 syllables)
maybe... "scarlet ibis wades"?
other than that, this was a cool ekphrastic for the pic!
thank you for sharing

I really don't need two long sentences to say that this is outstanding. It explains the picture thoroughly, but more than that, your word choice makes it memorable in a very good way. Hugs, Verna

Comment from Sugarray77
Good morning Gypsy. When I read it was poppies in the artwork, I immediately thought... they don't belong there, but your comments echoed mine and I began to focus on the Ibis only. Your satori 'knee-deep in yearning' is wonderful, but do you need the hyphen??? A lovely verse, as always!

Comment from Jasmine Girl
What a beautiful poem about ibis. I saw many of them in Florida but they were white. This scarlet ones are so special. I wonder what they are yearning for, food?
Well done.

sadness holds the page, "yearning" does take the reader to times of loneliness, longing for companionship is in everyone's and all creatures mind, very well written and presented****kahpot

Comment from lyenochka
I don't know that poppies even grew in watery places like that. I think of dry mountains like in Afghanistan. Perhaps the scarlet ibis is reminiscent of poppies. I really liked the "knee-deep in yearning."

The painting is called scarlet ibis and poppies. The flowers in the painting are poppies. Maybe the painter had a dream.
Haiku is very visual, I try to create a visual scene. Poetry is not analytical, it's felt in the heart. I will add a note in my author notes. Thank you, big sister. I always appreciate your honest and kind reviews.
Love
