MacArthur Park
John J MacArthur Park
South Florida
January 11 2008
Snow white Egrets in tangled Mangroves
Plunging Ospreys
Skimming Pelicans
Leaping Mullet
Prowling Snook
Native trees and plants
Quiet Kayaks
Ply the Intracoastal
Buildingless
Ancient Dunes with
Buried Indian artifacts
Loggerhead turtles
Pulverized shell beach
Brown sand
Crystal waters
Rocks in the surf
Must be careful of these
And rip currents that will suck you off the beach just like that—
No lifeguards.
Wooden boardwalk meanders across the brownish Intra-coastal.
Manatees protected
Birds protected
Fish protected
A Florida sanctuary for people and animals.
From the tiniest blue crab to the tallest pink flamingo,
All are treated as equals in MacArthur Park.
