Bowing to Earth

Maya Ellenson likes to improvise in zen poetry as she basks in Florida's parks and wildlife.

Sandhill Cranes

Nature's suspense

Sandhill cranes

landing on the parking lot

pavement

connecting up and down

fox tail palms

swinging over

grayness

of a sidewalk

nonchalant with all its blisters

raindrops sliding

on the palm’s smooth leaves

bowing to Earth

suspended

In the Parking Lot

Cranes posing
