American White Pelican

Posted byJJJ Interactive BooksPosted inPhotograph, PoemTags:, , , , , , , , 
To watch a large white pelican 
soar to great heights
and arrive in formation 
among its companions,
is a marvel indeed -
for its landing is most ungraceful,
its disproportionate beak
threatening to plunge the bird
into the water’s depths.
It is the awkwardness
that I find most endearing.
