Everglad

Sun stained set on old mahogany
wispy dance of Spanish moss,
diamond point of faceted bay
convergence of Atlantic and Gulf
as hand holding hearts.

Splish splunk of pelicans fishing
face plant on rippled sparks,
prairie whimpers of reverent crows
childlike and quiet coo replacing caw.

Stealthy sidle of black vulcans
circle swoop to picnic table land,
hopping like chickens looking for remnants
nosy pecking at charcoal and grill.

Sunrise starburst, cirrus breezes,
milky illumination surrounds Venus's glow.
All is well in the Florida Everglades...
Everglad, everglow, evermore.
