Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Mama's Seven Prize Ducklings

Waddling down tangerine trails
  Carrying their favorite marmalade pails
Mama Duck and her seven prize ducklings
  Waved 'Hi' to a sandy-shelled snail  

Leaving their pails in soft saffron sand
  The ducklings waded into the foam
Bobbing along bubbly and twinkling surf
  They sang out: "No place like home" 

Later they found crystal sand in their pails
  Built mighty forts and castles galore
Mama's darling, dazzling-white ducklings
  Couldn't have asked her for anything more

Caren Krutsinger March 29, 2020 at 1:42 AM This is so much fun to read. I liked it immediately. Picturing it with a wide smile as I read. Gershon Wolf March 29, 2020 at 12:56 PM Yes. This one is definitely right in your wheelhouse, Caren. Thanks for the support. ~ Gershon

Jenish Somadas March 27, 2020 at 1:35 AM Wonderful poem..So sweet and lovely..A refresher to the present mind..Stay safe with your ducklings Gershon.. Gershon Wolf March 27, 2020 at 3:07 PM Ducklings are all wearing masks and webbed gloves, swimming at least 3 duck lengths from one another, and no going 'bottoms up!' Thanks, Jenish. :) gw

Jennifer Proxenos March 26, 2020 at 9:55 AM Hi Gershon ever so cute! ducklings are darlings, how can they be served in 5 star restaurants with roast potatoes and assorted veg - so bizarre makes me want to be a vegetarian, although I am halfway there! Great write, Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Gershon Wolf March 26, 2020 at 7:03 PM Eat the 'lng,' not the duck! Then you'll be a half-vegetarian! There you go! Smiles, Gershon

Sandra Adams March 25, 2020 at 11:54 PM I love the beach and this poem allowed me to momentarily escape there... love this Gershon... adorable! hugs Gershon Wolf March 26, 2020 at 8:49 AM Hey, stay down at the beach a while! The tide's out due to 'wave distancing!' Cheers, my friend! Warm wishes, Gershon

Evelyn Judy Buehler March 25, 2020 at 10:14 PM This is so charming, Gershon! I enjoyed this cute tale of the duck family's marvelous day at the beach. Best of wishes.
