A great blue heron
Softly singing like the tides
Taking flight with me
Heron in the marsh
Moves silently with the earth
Welcoming the sun
The blue heron speaks
You are laughing at the rain
I know this is home
Morning blue heron
Takes flight warmly with the dawn
Spirit of this place
Waiting blue heron
She is speaking for the earth
Awakening us
Sunrise on the marsh
Blue heron greeting the dawn
Taking flight with her
Tranquil blue heron
The tides speaking with the earth
The song of moonlight
Heron in the mist
Whispers softly like the dawn
The name of the earth
Blue heron at dawn
Tells a story to the tides
The song of the earth
Misty yellow sun
Awakening with the marsh
A heron takes flight
Ripple in the marsh
The dawn shifting to the past
Heron awakens
Resting blue heron
The sea smiling with the day
Taking flight with him
The visitor speaks
Awakening like the sun
I know what we are
Visiting a Great Blue Heron in the tidal marshes of the Skagit River Delta.

What does it see here?
Ha, haiku inspired by a photo on a blog post of mine from a few weeks ago. Love all the haiku, did you write them yourself?:)
NITB, They really are.
Jill, very nice. Thanks for adding your verse. Since I haven't seen the word baloney here, I'll admit to writing the verses in the post. I have also been posting some here and there at Tumblr: http://fidalgolight.tumblr.com/
A true left brain-right brain blogger! Kudos Dave.
Hey! If you can come up with haiku like that, you oughtta come over to my blog on weekends and share some! I need some more haikuers (and limerickists)!
Jill, sometimes I worry if I am stepping where I don't belong. Hello Patricia. Thanks for stopping by. I have been known to post one on your blog now and then. Here is the latest considering Pacific Chorus Frogs:

You're not only a fine photographer, but poet too!
