AnnCrystal 🤩 Amazingly Beautiful 👏🏼😍👍🏼🐝💝. 6d
BooksandCoffee4Me Beautiful! I see them in the water ways in our farmland here, but never in trees. 😮💛 6d
dabbe I would get in a car wreck because I would be totally #gobsmacked looking at them! 💛🐝🖤 6d
Reggie Sooo good! 5d
julieclair @BooksandCoffee4Me They spend their days in the waterways here, too. They only come to the trees towards evening. I read online that they like to spend their nights in trees/bushes because they‘re safer from predators if they‘re off the ground. That makes a lot of sense, since our alligators can‘t climb trees. (Although occasionally one does manage to climb up a few steps!) 5d
julieclair @dabbe I often see people pulled to the side of the road looking at them! 5d
DebinHawaii Wonderful! 💛🐝🖤I love the cattle egrets here too. I see them on the highway & in the neighborhood. I especially love it when they follow yard guys with leaf blowers single file to pick up insects & things they might stir up. Makes me smile! 5d
julieclair @DebinHawaii That‘s a hoot about the yard guys! Smart birds! 4d
lil1inblue What wonderful imagery! 😍 3d

I don‘t read a lot of poetry, but I found this one pretty enjoyable. Some travel involved (Walcott was from Saint Lucia, and these poems feature the Caribbean, Italy, Spain, and the U.S, among others), nothing wild or crazy. They‘re deceptively short and simple, but it was nice to linger on some of them. #52Books23 #byaCaribbeanauthor

I‘m not a huge fan of poetry but enjoyed this book, I think because they weren‘t too ‘odd‘.
The author is from #saintlucia #readingtheamericas2023.

Many of the poems are set in the Caribbean, but we also visit France, Amsterdam, the US and Italy, as in the poem above that compares summer on Saint Lucia and in Italy.

I‘ve managed to do another #quadrupledip with this one ⬇️ although I‘m sure I won‘t be that lucky going forward!😁

Cinfhen Well played 🙌🏻🎊 2y

606 pages of Derek Walcott's (1930 - 2017) poetry to absorb, drink in, savor, appreciate. #poetryeveryday #derekwalcott #poetry #Litsypoetry365 #booksandwine #chunkers #bigfatbooks #stlucianpoetandplaywright

batsy Amazing. It'll be wonderful to have a copy of that. A lifetime's work ❤️ 8y
Lesliereads @batsy Yes, so much of his life's work represented in this volume with the exception of Omeros. 8y
BellaBookNook I just discovered him after he passed and am eager to get my hands on one of his collections. 8y
Lesliereads @BellaBookNook Oh! I think you can start anywhere with Walcott's work. This collection was just sitting at Powell's bookstore waiting for me and a ten dollar bill😊. 8y
