I enjoyed the repetition of avocets. I had to look that words up and found they were birds. Though the poem gives that away lol. I just had to make sure.
Well done with the rhymes. The poem was smooth and a delight to read.

Beautifully done Mr D. They are incredible birds :)

Wasn't aware of avocets until now, beautiful birds. Loved the repetition, and you certainly did them justice. Glad to see this nominated!

there is a song "The ants go marching two by two harah harah"- I read this poem to the tune of that song :-)

I love your poetry Michael, I always get a good vibe from it- this was a delight to read :-)
