Azure Kingfisher

In emerald leaves, the azure kingfisher glides.
With sapphire wings that glitter, a gleam as it plunges.
Into the river, quick as a sigh,
It dances on the water under the vast sky.
In the soft light of dawn,
A flick of azure, so fast and neat.
Among the rushes, where ripples bloom,
It paints the air with its merry ballet.
