Poem for Hour Eight (8/24)

Accented by sunshine yellow, a long-legged fellow known as white-headed lapwing resides.

Fairly reclusive and favoring cattails the stunning and musical African Rail, wades carefully into the open,

Ready to join the best-dressed club run by those like Livingstone’s Turaco,

In stunning green and scarlet, with cap so vivid, yet all bow down to the grey-crowned

Crane, king of spectacular sights. The killer queen, secretary bird,

Allows no dangerous snake to even put up a fight.
