Poem: Pelicans (haiku in 4 variations)

1)

On my way to work

A pelican family

Floats by so sweetly.

2)

I love how they swim

Together dipping their beaks

Gobbling tiny fish.

3)

They’re fascinating

Their beaks wobble like rubber

Sifting through water.

4)

Swimming as a group

I love their togetherness

They help each other.

Explore the pelican’s prodigious pouch. Find out how these famous fishers bring home the catch of the day.

  2. I remember there was a lake about 4 blocks from where I lived in the house with my dad called Broadmoor Lake.

    Occasionally there were pelicans there.

    We were always surprised when they were because northern Alberta seemed a bit too far north for pelicans.

    They were magnificent creatures to watch.
