White Pelicans
By
Clara Blair
A lone white cloud
Moves purposefully
Across the blue sky.
Hundreds of great white birds
With black-tipped wings
Fly steadily southward.
White pelicans in migration,
Following the sun,
Spiraling upward
In ever-growing circles,
These living, feathered poems
Rob me of words.
