Stilt stands listening
with its sixth sense on alert
stamping its pink feet
divining oysters for lunch
from beneath the brackish pool
Come away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
Stilt stands listening
with its sixth sense on alert
stamping its pink feet
divining oysters for lunch
from beneath the brackish pool
Lovely
You captured him so well! Mine are always a blur. 😦 Now I’ll have to look up the rules on Tanka 🙂 Happy Thursday, Gilly!
Love stilts – love this post
Great capture Gilly and look at the beautiful reflection. Excellent Tanka as well. Enjoy your day! 😀 ♥
Lovely and the sands are such a soft colour.
Like a painting, making one peaceful just to gaze.
Lovely shot and tanka, Gilly. I like the alliteration. 🙂
Very much like a beautiful painting, Gilly!
Absolutely stunning verse and the photo along with it. ❤ ❤
Not sure what to like the most; the photo or the poem. Either would work on its own. Clever you 🙂
A beautifully composed photo and a tanka that gets inside the mind of the stilt. I love “stamping its pink feet.”
Great capture and perfect Tanka, Gilly. You’re so good at this. 🙂
you made my day with:
“Stilt stands listening
with its sixth sense on alert
stamping its pink feet…”
