A half a million hectares
\nIn Romania and Ukraine
\nThe second largest in Europe
\nWith so very much to gain
\nFrom wildness of an environment
\nA wetlands thats so green
\nA sanctuary for hundreds of birds
\nWho seemingly convene
\nTo rest and play and thus enjoy
\nThe light the trees the space
\nAnd the magnificent landscape
\nOn offer to embrace<\/p>\n
Those gorgeous great billed Pelicans
\nAnd Herons so sedate
\nAnd many other migratory birds
\n300 or so of late
\nVast surfaces of lily pads
\nAnd reed plants everywhere
\nWillow trees and white poplars
\nAnd Oaks that all help to clean the air<\/p>\n
Marshes channels streamlets lakes
\nThe Danube’s rolling sound
\nSturgeon, Carp and Catfish
\nPerch and Rudd all found
\nThousands of varieties of floating plants,
\nThat do
\nProvide and fragrant carpet
\nExtending the ermine view<\/p>\n
Many people catch fish here
\nAnd buy honey from the bee
\nWho Swallow up the pollen
\nAnd the nectar constantly
\nThe river is a giant that spreads
\nItself about
\nWide channels grines and pasture land
\nReally to be out<\/p>\n
In all this natural diversity
\nThis magnet for all things good
\nWhich has world heritage status
\nWhich somewhere like this should
\nIts overun with beauty
\nRight to the Black Sea
\nAnd the light essentially
\nHas so much visibility<\/p>\n
To a phenomenal degree
\nSo tonifying the life force here
\nIn originality
\nA vastness an abundance
\nAnd a wholeness all can see
\nA genuine appraisal of how it
\nOught to be<\/p>\n
The populace are city bound
\nLeaving the countryside
\nVery much to the wild ones
\nWho take it in their stride
\nWho go about their daily life
\nAs they have always done
\nClearly not as fearful
\nOf the poacher with his gun<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
