Snowy Egret

See the snowy egret upon the water dancing
Its tufts of plumage sway in the breeze
Water dancing ballerina in a tutu of white
Graceful movements quite entrancing
Tiptoeing through the surf with ease
Observe the water dancing bird
As it will soon lift its wings and take flight
Leaving but a ring of water stirred

W3 Prompt #93: Wea’ve Written Weekly’s poet of the week, Kerfe, prompts us to write a “san san” on the theme of dancing:

The “san san” poetic form has three requirements:

  1. Eight lines;
  2. Rhyming: a-b-c-a-b-d-c-d;
  3. Repetition: Three terms or images in the verse must be repeated 3x each.
