Great Blue Heron on the Wing

—after reading Robinson Jeffers’ “Autumn Evening” 


Slow wit, if you think this 
Bird ungainly, don’t — 
Imagine how 

Ridiculous you look, trying 
To take off after
Second thoughts again.

  1. At the school of discombobulated poetics they taught us to babble "first thought, best thought", but then when we tried to take off without paying tuition... whump. Grounded.

  2. I might be way off course here but doesn't this sound painfully similar to the school of hard knocks?
