Did you ever notice? I'm amazed how many poems have been written about swans. In Ryan Wilson's class Mastering Poetic Sound and Meter, I even wrote one too. This, of course, is one of the best.
I was half awake when I first read this and after I was done reading your commentary I was puzzled for a nanosecond about why I didn't remember the poem. But then my flighty brain went elsewhere. Glad someone reminded you, and I now can read the poem and commentary together.

The words about the poem are rather wonderful, too.
I’ve been attempting “wildlife” poems recently and this was a great tutorial … thank you! 🙏
Sally, you forgot to print the poem!
Thanks. Fixed now.
Ah, sorry! Thanks for fixing that, Jody.
