Patience is a virtue. for friend Orlando

sonnet

 

 

Patience is a virtue.

 

A squelchy bog my hunting ground.

Where fine fat frogs are to be found.

A hungry heron with the skill

can very quickly eat his fill.

The hunting skills come naturally.

 Although the frogs are hard to see

We have the capability

 to stand on one leg patiently

To watch and wait until we see

A frog that chooses unwisely.

To make a move which proves to be

 his very last most probably.

A lightning strike; the frog is gone

We watch then for another one
