Hi MariVal.
What a wonderfully written haiku. The first two lines describe the artwork perfectly. The final line can be taken literally or spiritually which makes in a good satori.
Congrats on winning the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Have a wonderful day
Joan

I loved everything about this 5-7-5. The tranquility of the bird and the lagoon are subtly emphasized by the repetition of the "w" sound. You are hard to beat!

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!

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.
