The Green Heron
Click picture to ZOOM

By Nick Roes

The Green Heron

is doing fine,

Though short and stocky

it can dine

on tiny mice

and slimy leeches

that hang out

near river beaches.

 

Monogamous

for one whole year.

They build their homes

with sticks, and wear

a chestnut neck,

a green-black cap,

with white in front.

They take a nap

all day and then

they fly at night,

for they’re nocturnal,

out of sight.

 

They live along

our river shores

Unphased by humans

Making ‘smores

They’re independent,

Non-conforming.

Sure hope they don’t mind

global warming.
