Poem for Hour Ten (10/24)

A great, soft, alabaster egg with pink face and stocky legs,

Northern-giant petrels following ships, bold beak into frigid wind.

Teeming with seabirds,

Antarctic Tern, diving, kelp gull, snatching,

Rough pebble nests fascilliate planned hatching of

Chinstrap penguins! A visual delight to behold!

The style and poise of a macaroni penguin, skeptical-looking and

Indignant.

Cape petrel’s cookies and cream coloring make it

A welcome sight.
