Duckling

A
New duckling
One day hatched
Abruptly cracked, newly detached
To the lake-edge dispatched 

To 
Mother’s feather
There, all together
Enjoy spring’s mild weather
Searching bugs in the heather

When
Brothers, sisters
Come chasing misters
Plus cats with whiskers
Make us scatter like twisters
