So moving, I can feel the earnest desire to save the baby bird and the recognition that our idea of saving may not be the way of nature. I thought Iād share with you my recent bird poem, for the beautiful heron.
Strong, affecting imagery that puts us all at the beach, watching, too. The alliteration makes for a kind of stuttering step, both of action and hesitation, from word to word, stanza to stanza, the emotional urge to do something and the knowledge of consequences if help is given. The poem's title points to something positive, something saved, all turning out right, though by the end we're left with a question of how this ends, the child chasing the bird, just as the ornithologist questions his own possible action or response to danger.
