THE
WONDERFUL BITTERN
What
a strange bird is the secretive Bittern,
It doesn't hog the limelight like a Swan or a Heron.
It
stands in the reeds and its beady eyes glisten,
Spying
small fish, a sharp dagger like beak to impale them.
With
camouflaged plumage adorning this peculiar bird,
Apart
from bellowing ‘Hoot’ it’s rarely heard.
Soaring
Eagles and intelligent Owls, poet’s ardour is stirred,
So,
maybe this tribute to the wonderful Bittern is the first.....
In
word.
