after Bill Killen
By the frothy green
and fetid pond
in the morning sun
the blue heron
standing so still
is probably pooping.

How can you say you're no good at haiku when it includes something wise, the blue heron, with something funny, obviously the pooping? It's magical. (and it made me laugh!)
Hi Rachel. Thanks. Two thumbs up for an astral laugh track.
