Poetry on the banks

A wooden board bears a bit of poetry. It read: 'The River Avon, by Carrie Etter In tree-shadow, on a dirt path, we walk in the cool alongside the river. A crow perches on a post, a heron on the opposite bank perfects stillness, slows our pace. Overhead, in the green boughs, twitter and chirp, rustle andtwitch the river brims with wings. For a long hour we loiter. We thrive.'
