My Friend the Blue Heron

Two Poems

by Janine Phillips

Continuing our celebration of National Poetry Month are two poems by Janine Phillips.

My Friend the Blue Heron

Again he returns, my old friend
Rain… cold, flooding, deep
A bath he decides for today!
Water reaching his belly in the
Brandywine
A branch full and swaying protects his
majestic head
From hard pellets leaving the sky
Taking flight… he must explore
What else today has in store.

Driving along~lost in thought
Eyes Wandering
Water flowing over ice
Flashing blue~Who are you?
My river friend~the blue heron
Just as I am flying along life’s road
My blue friend is flying by my side
Shades of blue across the sky
Shades of blue soaring beside…
FLIGHT!

A blue heron in flight against a body of water.

iPub Global Connection LLC is the brainchild of Sandi Billingslea. Originally built to showcase the distinguished academic library of works by Sandi’s brother Professor Leonard Swidler, close to a decade later, iPub Global has grown into so much more. As a boutique publisher, we have specialized in Non-fiction scholarly works, such as philosophical exploration and inter-religious dialogue. In 2021, we were proud to branch out into the autobiographies and memoirs of those whose lives have greatly benefitted the world around them through education, ethics, and diplomacy. Through our growth, our mission has remained the same as day one, to create a company that promotes the brilliant minds of those who want to share their stories about seeking a better tomorrow. We are adding voices to our community who have seen limitations (whether self-imposed, environmentally inflicted, or executed by society) and want to share their path to growing beyond those restrictions. The evolution of success is found in seeing where one wants to go and then recognizing one’s ability to build unique pathways to get there. We see those builders as the future, making choices with clarity of mind, sharing their losses, and embracing their successes so that others can see- “It is Possible!”
