Chambers Creek
gliding parallel in tandem
young mallard and his mate
eyes wide laughing loud
touch down in sliding splash
noisily shake off excitement
wake once slumbered silence
waves encircle widen wane
diminish to prior smoothness
before reaching shore where
poised at waters edge a lone
blue heron like the vigilant
school librarian keeps watch
