WATERFOWL, second flocking

  (above): A reflection on wading birds...



 The Omnificent English Dictionary In Limerick Form is an online humor dictionary that has accumulated over 120,000 carefully edited poems, including almost 900 or so by Giorgio. The present collection of verses,  submitted to OEDILF, represents a bird-brained compilation of almost a decade of creative endeavour. 

Readers who enjoy our collections of verses describing the natural world around them with illustrative images and text, might  enjoy these  blog-offerings...

PHOTOS: Unless otherwise noted (by pale blue acknowledgment plaques), embedded photographs were taken with and transferred from Giorgio's cellphone. Following submission of the poems to OEDILF, the illustrative slides we present here were formatted using Powerpoint software on a vintage 2000-era PC computer. No photographic subjects were reimbursed for participating in this undertaking, and OEDILF has no involvement in the pictorial portion of this presentation. 

   This post is a continuation of a collection of verses about WATERFOWL', as posted on this blog on June 10, 2020 ('first flocking').
