This is the reed Swinging in the river flow To be brushed through By the egret's strolling. You can't picture All the beauty -- There's no background For your colors exposing. Hence, appearance of the egret In doom and gloom of your calm Is simply a zest to the scene of life.

They do blend right in with the browning tall grasses. Nature is amazing!

A captivating excursion with a little expressed part of nature. Well done.

I like Michael's response. It seems to fit the mood suggested in the poem. Realistically, I see reeds that seem to be impenetrable by the Egret. And there is no color, although the green of the reeds and the blue of the water reflecting the sky would be intense.

A beautiful bird lost amid the reeds, eerie.

The strolling egret is a zest for life to the calmness of the stalks of reed. They complement each other, bringing to picture perfection.
