the egret's elegant ballet
observed by gently swaying reeds
he pirouettes, a grand display:
come lover, and fulfil my needs
let us commence our brief romance
the water waits to make a splash
do you not see my urgent dance
my wings extended as I dash
come and I'll fly you to new heights
and hold you breathless on the wing
our feathers singing their delights
as we perform the rites of spring
come, there's no need to be a prude
here we shall raise our egret brood
display for lovers, young and old
let's give them something to behold
