I'm enjoying the new pelican canvas in my home.
It inspires me to continue my previous "Pelicans Passing" poem:
Processions of pelicans passing by
It gives me joy to watch them fly
Long lines of birds in single file
Skimming waves with graceful style
Their wings don’t flap they simply glide
On smooth air currents float and ride
It gives me joy to watch them fly
Long lines of birds in single file
Skimming waves with graceful style
Their wings don’t flap they simply glide
On smooth air currents float and ride
But then their gliding needs more speed
Signaled by the one in lead
With graceful flaps their wings stretch wide
Momentum builds for another ride
Floating by on currents of air
When they glide past I can only stare
Signaled by the one in lead
With graceful flaps their wings stretch wide
Momentum builds for another ride
Floating by on currents of air
When they glide past I can only stare
Small groups pass I give them names
All part of my own pelican games
Long lines stretch become a V
I've counted up to 83
Large clusters means can't count them all
Their picture now adorns my wall
All part of my own pelican games
Long lines stretch become a V
I've counted up to 83
Large clusters means can't count them all
Their picture now adorns my wall
