great blue heron stood
in flint river statuesque....
children hooped, threw rocks  

the great blue heron
chop sticks seeking sushi
shallow sustenance

a great blue heron
diving in the river stream...
spawning trout trophy

gliding into melting sun
graceful blue heron

heron overhead 
    silhouette in twilight spread~
       wings hugging thick air

the great blue heron
glides low over the blue bay...
schools of fish vanish 

fragile wings support
 agile great blue heron soars
summer's long days cease  

Inspired by Dr. Ram Mehta's
A Great Blue Heron

Languid summer day
Cloud afloat on garden pond
Silent Heron waits.

Ripples replace cloud
Water drips from Heron beak
Koi swim unaware.

frog sings
heron flies
frog dies

                                Peepers chirp love songs
                                Looking for single misses,
                                Blue Heron stands waiting.

Grey bowed wing heron

lands as sentry of quick death ~

pickerels dart deep .

In the dying light
  a heron flies to his roost -
  night owls hoot

  at sunrise heron
  waits patiently  to lance prey -
   night owls sleep

Haikuesque No. 22


red tailed hawk
suspended
suddenly
swoops setting sun

~~~~~

Haikuesque No. 23

one legged,
heron meditates
gulps
river moon
rising

Screams of a Heron
Penetrating the dark night
Increasing my fear

blue heron's wingspan
sundown
heading home

marsh grass camouflages 
a great blue heron feeding~
      quietly at dusk

hungry heron waits
silent assassin stalks carp
sun breaks through gray clouds

frogs
singing in the park
Heron returns

A Great Blue Heron
Like the famous Red Barron
Blasts my Leberon

standing in the pool
silent,keeping very cool-
the heron waits

silently heron 
flies low over marsh...
high tide covers all

... chuckling quietly

    heron and water-lily

    splashing silently ...

frog singing in rain
a heron flies overhead
good bye mister frog

In shallow water
A heron waits for its prey
Standing on one foot!

blue death
stalks Brushy Creek
heron is back

white Heron stands in
a tree in the afternoon
waiting for the flock

gone fishin’

a flash of silver
on my rod
heron goes hungry

at the distant shore
a bathing blue heron~
my cork vanishes

          still water
     glowing in the sun ~
   heron swoops down

an old gray heron
floats on the evening breeze
minnows scatter

a grey heron
awaits his meal
frozen in time

a silent assassin poised ...

in westbound breezes
weeping willow branches sway
    a heron knee deep

The swollen river
River birds drift to the sea
A heron flys past

the patient cat
watches spilt birdseed for mice
a heron lands

a heron lands
a pair of ducks like bird seed
my cat... spoilt for choice

all in my garden
a nature wonderland... mine
a hunting heron
