I am an Ibis, a wading bird. Times have become quite absurd. My family used to enjoy the wetlands. The cool fresh water answered all our demands. The global weather patterns have all changed. The water situation is definitely rearranged. Water in our habitat did just deteriorate. Forcing us to fly east and migrate. We all made homes in each city. Which is really now such a pity. Our search for water is sad. Our future is pretty bad.

Thank you Shadow. Yes its a pity to see the poor things scrounging to find food in garbage bins.

Amazing how nature can co-exist in Urbania. Sad for the beautiful guys, that they have not integrated well. Thoth has always been a favorite of mine - god of knowledge, writing, wisdom, and scribes. A great way to bring the issue to fore! :)

a perfect personification with a well executed rhyme scheme, SV. I sometimes am sad that we've lost and not taken care of so many natural habits. There's a bird refuge near us...it's a remarkable place to visit. I enjoyed your poem. Have a pleasant evening, SV....Sara

Here in Australia, the problem is growing. We live in suburbia and it is nothing for us ( and all our neighbors) to have up to a dozen Ibis on the roof of our home during a day. We cant put water out for them, our dog wont allow them the land in the yard. There is a parkland nearby with a huge man made lake but they can drink from the edge but not wade as the lake if full of eels. In flight they are so spectacular with their huge wing spans. Hopefully something can be done to help them. Its a national dilemma. Thanks for your lovely comment. SV
