"Pigeon" illustration from Nancy Standlee for my "Dreams of the Turtle King" beach poem book.
The poem is THE PIGEON and the illustration is for a stanza in the poem ...
"The pigeon struts
down the beach..."
It always struck me as odd to see a lone pigeon on the beach. Seagulls (another poem!) and pelicans (another poem!) and sand pipers, yes, but a pigeon? The pigeon always looked like the odd man out and so out of place by the water. Maybe he had lost his way and was trying to get directions back home!
