Notes About The Poem

§§º§§ A mallard duck attempts to walk on a frozen pond in Yukon, Oklahoma

- Haiku X 169 - D-Uck -

duck lost its balance
                                  impressive version of splits -
                                      sliding  - frozen pond
 
                                         clumsy behavior
                                        cold winter reality -
                                      humor - break the ice

That was funny my friend and those images are priceless. Not just the slipping but the look on the duck's face like he is saying, "What?" Really fun my friend. Brought a big smile to me today.
