The kingfisher lazily perched today
as a sorry river sloped below
fish so visible that fishing
felt like cheating
But, y’know, gift horses and such,
and a full mouth for the nest
is best for everyone
I guess
though glimmer and flash
are rarely seen without challenge
we all need a dose of easy pickings
to even the game
