    I can't do 'grown-up' stuff very well, but I do a few for my nieces and nephews...

    Bird In The Sky


    Watch that bird in the sky, he makes wheels and he whirls,
    he patterns his flight with big loops and long curls.
    He swoops and he dives like a small acrobat,
    I stand here just wishing that I could do that.
    Thank you ladylouise62
    I'm not very grown up I can assure you
    This is exactly how it happened.

    The little Egret

    I watch a Little Egret in the brook
    With seagulls looking on
    He’s strayed away from the estuary
    He’s fishing but carries on

    He dances around with his big yellow feet
    To try and attract the fish
    It works; fish come to take the bait
    He spears them with a swish

    I see him as he prances around
    My self behind a bush
    I think his sharp eyes have spotted me
    As he takes to the air with a swoosh

    I look-on as he loses orientation
    It’s the estuary he must seek
    As he turned it was highly amusing
    ‘Twas just wings and legs and beak

    When he’d sorted his point of direction
    Flew just feet above my head
    As he found his way back to the estuary shore
    He made haste and off he fled

    Below is a photo of the Little Egret changing his mind and one as he flew over my head. This the event that inspired the poem
    I pit myself in the frame
