A poem...

Today we share a poem.

A SAND PIPER SHARES HIS BEACH, by DEBRA Manske (USA, 2021)

Suited in brown and white
he pokes the sand with pointed bill
for a breakfast of bugs.

He’s made tiny web-foot shapes 
in the sand, so many for such a small soul
and my footprints are as confounded as his.

Though, I took my breakfast elsewhere,
I suspect it was for his counsel
that I came.

 

 

Enjoy.
