I find it amazing, how you sculpt your sentences into fine works of art...lucky me, to wander into your gallery and by chance, gain admittance, to view your superior collection. Beautifully crafted Danny.

Reading this poem, I am reminded of the style ofTed Hughes... the great poet on birds! I remember having studied a poem.. 'Thrushes' where he describes the delicate legs of a Thrush waiting on a meadow with deadly concentration to pounce over a prey as the trigger of a gun! Once the prey is located, it is over it with a bounce, a start and a stab. A similar movement, I experience in your description of the rising of the waterbird! A great write! !
