enjoy the down-script format you chose, it is very settling.
Pretty ingenius. Interesting how few words poetry can take. There’s a lot to be said for white space.
Love this, the form is perfect!
thanks all!
your poem IS a blue heron waiting
Great form and content!
What everyone said above, but also”I’ll sit unslung” is a strange and gorgeous phrase!
*sling, slang, slung*
the actual sound of heron’s wings
when they first lift off..
(to my ears and eyes anyway)
Concision + music + concrete form = a tiny tour de force.
agree with all, especially like the visual of the tall heron and the rhyme
