Nature is beautiful. - the GREBE

A grebe went swimming by and I asked myself what word rimes with Grebe?  The beautiful proud beak with her head held high reminded me of a self-important CEO I once knew.  Then she dove down into the water and didn’t come up for what seemed like several minutes.  She popped up about 50 feet away from where she had entered the water and looked around.  At that moment it reminded me of a hunter.  Was she hunting for something or just being aware.

Her white breast glistened off the rays of the sunshine and then the clouds removed the glistening.  Again she dove and I counted one thousand one, one thousand two…..  When I reached one thousand twelve she was back above the water and swam away with her head held high in the drops of rain that started to fall.

I wanted to write a poem about a grebe but I still

Couldn’t think of a word that rimed with Grebe

My mind went back and forth and with my will

I came up with a word, my mind a mill

The word was GREBE.  There is only one.  Be still.
