I'M a Little Duck

I'm a little duck...I waddle here and there
A fat juicy duck, with lots of meat to spare

I'm a little duck...I jiggle when I walk
I still preen my features...in pond I am the talk

I'm a little duck; water rolls right off of me
my feathers ever shiny, a glorious sight to see

I'm a little duck; I'm not a swan full of grace
But passion, it exudes...in every curve a trace

I'm a little duck; I'd make succulent a meal
You'd lick your lips with glee; the taste so yummy...real

I'm a little duck, and in duck world that is fine
But Oh...to swim in swan lake, now that would be sublime!  

Eileen

Quack Quack!!! Puckering up here!!!

Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 1/2/2015 5:12:00 AM All God's creations are endowed with beauty divine, little ducks included. A beautiful duck like yourself has nothing to envy from the beauty of swans, dear Eileen! Enjoyable and witty writing!

Thank you for visiting and leaving your kind words. Hugs

Dorian Petersen Potter Date: 1/2/2015 4:04:00 AM Very sweet and cute pen Eileen ! I enjoyed reading your piece. A 7 from me!Just remember this my very dear friend size doesn't really matter is who you really are your heart and mind. The outside doesn't last forever, it may remain some of it but it will fade with time. Beauty is just skin deep. Good to take good care of yourself in every way but love yourself the way you are and enhance what God already gifted with. Good luck in 2015! The outside is always seen by most people especially men but in the end is your beauty inside that will shine always young or old. Be confident and love yourself the rest will happen youll see. Thank you for sharing it dear friend.Wish you a happy new year 2015! Have a very lovely day :) Love and hugs! xxx D. Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 1/3/2015 9:52:00 AM Thanks, Dorian. I was vain about my looks at some point in my life. :( Time is catching up with me.....adding layers and other blemishes. This can't be helped. I know inner beauty is more important...but I didn't know it would be so hard to make the transition....I still get told I look much younger than my age. At least that gives me some comfort. Hugs to you...and thanks for this lovely visit.
