black-necked stilts parade
on pink legs, slender yet strong,
in search of magic
hidden beneath the marshlands
in iridescent ripples

Thanks, Sandy!
Welcome!
I love Stilts
Me too!
Such elegant birds, the stilts. I enjoy watching them. We don't have the black-necked: that seems to be a new world species. Instead we have the black-winged, only slightly different
Yes, they're fun to watch and a beautiful bird. 🙂
What an elegant bird - and your poem describes them so eloquently!
Thanks, Sarah! Yes, they are elegant, delicate birds--one of my favorites.
"Magic beneath the marshlands"....love that Siobhan. Beautiful post.
Thank you, Tina! Lots of magic in marshes. 🙂
Thanks for using the stilt! I'd planned to do so too, but just ran out of room. :-) Their legs are so thin!! Good poem too.
