The Welcome Trespasser

Written by Gail DeBole July 15, 2017 You quietly hold your head high as you stand on the grassy bank - never gazing back at me. Your head and neck play games with the alphabet as they gracefully curve into an “S”. Human boundaries have no meaning to you as you gracefully catch fish next to a well-worn No Fishing sign. I think of all of the times I have watched unknowing you as you catch what I suppose is your lunch… …in your beak, Mr. Crane. Published in PS: It's Still Poetry Volume II
