If you wonder why I haven’t been sharing photos and stories of the valley lately, it is because of this Word Press Poetry course I decided to take. It is quite the challenge!
Today’s assignment involves an animal theme, concrete structure and enjambment. Feel free to look them up, other than the animal part.
Not having great HTML skills, I drew my poem and include as a picture. I cannot explain what possessed me to choose the bird I did, you’ll see what I mean!
Enjoy and feel free to comment…..unfortunately, or fortunately, the outline shows.
By the way, I’m not certain I really employed enjambment, but….there is no test (I think)
And in case you didn’t guess, it’s a great blue heron.

Thanks. I thought it rather got lost in the herons neck and body. What an assignment!

Thank you, I’m very fond of herons. Hard to photograph but well worth it. They seem vulnerable in their world, except when in flight.

I see herons occasionally, at the nearby river. It’s always a treat.

Very nice! I could never have got the poem woven into the bird like that! You make it look effortless!

Thank you. Perhaps a bit of an insult to the heron.
