-Very nice images and presentation, Gypsy.
-The heron is a beautiful bird.
-Effective imagery lets us visualize
the heron as it "wades through the lagoon."
-A good satori line.
-Thanks for sharing it and the notes, too.

I particularly love the satori line Gypsy, the ambiguity is very precious meaning is delightful and gives it the oomph that it needs to lift it into the stratosphere, well done, blessings Roy

Those are beautiful birds! We have them here and one flew on top of our neighbor's house. I wonder what it means! Lol. It's not a stork so they're not having a baby!
Anyway, I've been told that a white heron is called an egret - or great white egret. But you can call it a heron.

Thank you very much, big sister. The white heron is a favorite subject for Japanese haiku. It symbolizes many things.... gracefullness, spirituality, new beginnings.... etc....

They are grateful creatures indeed. They sometimes remind me of ghostly images gliding on a quiet body of water. These birds make me reflect on my own life. Beautiful and grateful.

I plan to enter the 5-7-5 poetry contest, and I can see that I will have stiff competition. An impressive artwork that enhances your poem. A strong statement of tranquility and grace. Don

Tranquillity and grace certainly characterise the white heron, and this is reflected ion your careful choice of appropriate words for the image. Beautifully composed.

I didn't know about the association with tranquility and grace but I can understand it now. Your charming post 'reflects' those qualities with style. Thanks for sharing, Gypsy. Debbie

There really is nothing that compares to the beauty of a heron or egret. They look so peaceful. They are so elegant looking. You have written a beautifully descriptive poem. Gretchen
