Stones skipping across the water,

Breathing, rising then falling

Lilies bow their opulent,

trembling heads to

the petulant little egret

A practiced flick, then a flourish of silver scales

Eyes flutter open, a dainty lash o’ feathered

Sink, swim and then gasp

Alas, but he died

Laughing

(Psst…Here’s another one if you liked this!)
