Where I Live
Mallard ducks walk down the sidewalk
Sometimes single file but often side-by-side
Snowy and great egrets nest together
A large pine tree is their shared condo
American coots paddle then walk single file
Taking turns politely at a fresh water source
The great blue heron steps back patiently
Letting bikers go by before catching a snack
Human walkers, skaters, bikers share paths equally
Picking up trash and smiling brightly at each other
Looking for a chance to let another go first or help
Okay, the last part I just made up for this poem
