Sample of the work TBP:
The
Great Blue Heron
Tom Davis
glides with wings six
feet tip to tip
along the winding river
flairs and lights on the
bank
among the mountain
rhododendrons.
There he stands on stick
legs
yellow tipped beak
sleek blue-gray body
waiting
still as death
waiting
neck coiled snake-like
waiting.
The cold water ripples
he strikes
bringing up supper
he stretches his neck
shakes his head
then swallows.
The rainbow trout
bulges in his neck.
He looks left
then right
still as death
he stands
waiting,
as life on the river
flows by.
