11.20 Lone Great Blue
(My attempt at an Ovillejo:)
Across the creek no bird sings;
Why have wings
I wonder is there some cruel knot -
if they cannot
be used to take one to a warmer Eden
give you freedom?
Is there justification to be stuck in this season?
In the middle of November still -
seeing the heron, still gives me a thrill.
Why have wings if they cannot give you freedom?

Debi’s : Magical Thirteen
“Great blue herons, those tall gray waders that patrol streams and lake shores, are a puzzle. They are abundant along the Florida and Gulf coasts in winter, and yet there are always a few that winter as far north as Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. As long as open water remains, their favorite food — fish — is abundant.”
