The loons aren't willing subjects
and folks who dare to try
to photograph these creatures
will find they don't comply,
for acts of disappearance
are made with style and ease:
they dive beneath the water
and do not care to please.
You'll watch for one to surface
but don't expect to find
it's where your camera's pointed,
the loon can read your mind.
