On one of my many walks at a dike, I happened upon a Great Egret who was wading in the shallow water and stabbing the water for food. I watched it for a long time, its neck elongating, it's hunger, its hunting prowess.

Great Egret
I will stab my prey
My white plumes will deceive you
Then I will swallow

Then Stabbed and Swallowed
You know, I should have kept this in the past tense said shallowed and it would have kinda rhymed. Well, if I ever do a book of Haiku, I'll edit. ;-)
