The Bevy

wedge in motion land
spreading ripples soon dwindle
bevy allay low

Thank you Dale 😊

How delightfully romantic. I was attacked by a big bull swan once. His mate had cygnets in a neighboring pond. I just stood my ground and walked right toward him like a predator. He changed his mind and his direction. We can't let the birdbrains push us around. ;)

We never had swans but I love watching them.
My grandpa Frank had geese and they were the best guard dogs around. They would send me running 🏃‍♀️ for my life when I was a girl.

A swan is like a goose on steroids. They are fierce, this one hissed and growled. I kept looking at him like he was a plate of fried chicken. Hahaha!

[Cherrie Palmer]

Lol I used to feed swans in a city park. So as long as you had bread it was all good.

Gorgeously rendered Haiku, Cherrie ⛩

From beautiful artwork to choice imagery word painting, this one sings.
Though, there is one swan displayed, I know from my own experience the raucous noise a bevy of them can make … then, as suddenly calm and quiet as their stilled ripples.

Good stuff, Lady-Poet! ⁓ Richard🖌

I couldn't find the picture I wanted of a landing wedge so I went with the single swan. I really like this poem. Bevy is one of my favorite words (crazy I know). The word is just so gaceful..
You write such masterful haiku's I'm very pleased you liked it.

When we lived in Tulsa I use to go to a little pond with swans they are so majestic.

I was able to cut out 'the' from it.

This made me think of the continents shifting for some reason. Constantly unnoticed.

Is that a typo? Dwendle

Yes it should be with an 'i' . I thought I fixed it already. Guess I'll try fixing it again.

Such a beautiful scene Cherrie. My kind of place. Swans on water can be mesmerising to look at. So majestic.

Ya know-
I started to use Wedge instead of Grace.
Since that is what they are called in flight. But wasn't sure it worked.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Bevy is a beautiful word
