"I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud"
~by William Wordsworth~

I wandered lonely as a Duckling
Swimming in a big and lovely pond,
Trying to fit in and make a bond,
A group of golden fluffy ducklings.
Beside the lake, beneath the blue sky,
Playing together, not being shy.

Graceful as the wildflowers that...

Premium Member The Duckling - Apologies to Edgar Allan Poe
Warning - Don't read The Raven and Watch Hitchcock on the same night. 

Once before my bedtime, nearing, which I dreaded, fazed and fearing,  
Stories mother would read me before she closed and locked my bedroom door —
    While I washed...

The Duckling
Black wings fluttering
   Pecking at pale prison walls-
Now free for cold swim...

Ugly Duckling
In a family of siblings
With chiseled features,
The odd one out I was;
An ugly duckling,
Which my family, however,
Didn’t mind.
My friends pitied me—
For my Sphinx-like face,
My enemies laughed at my Socratic figure.
I personally don’t approve of my looks either.
I would, however, look in the mirror on the...

Ugly Duckling
You are beautiful to me
your hurt is not unseen.
Quietly you fret over all
You can't seem to forget

Nothing like today
to  escape  sorrows
and if it isn't conquered today
I'll sure be with you tomorrow.

Your beautiful to me If only
you could see what I see.
Regardless of the...

An Ugly Duckling
There was an ugly duckling,
Isolated herself in a stream,
Unable to show to the world,
As hidden as a treasure in the wood.

Everybody laughed at her,
Pitied, Insulted, and judged,
All she had to do was cried,
But forgave them, she really tried.

That time she made a dream,
“Someday, I will...

Premium Member A Duckling named Camilla
How lucky I was to inherit a villa!
Soon, I bought a tiny duckling for my pond.
Quickly and with a smile, I named her Camilla.
Together, we soon grew so fond.
As I watched her wet her feathers yellow blonde.

I built a dog-like box for it to rest.
I...

Premium Member Jim the Duckling
Jimmy the Duckling
was only young
and couldn't yet swim
he was frightened of water
and wouldn't jump in.

So kept away
but watched his brothers and sisters
swim and play.

''What's up Jimmy''?
aren't you going in
for a swim?.

''No Mummy
I'm scared of water
and haven't learned to swim!''

''Of course!''
your too young
but let me learn...

Ugly Duckling
My therapist once told me to find an outlet
Be open and unbottle all of my insanity inside of me
Plague with such abnormality but I know I’m truly
Beautiful.

Even though part of me know I wasn’t
My soul is half saint and half disgusting
I remember when Asians and...

The Beautiful Duckling
there he lay all curled up in a ball

laying out in the sun to dry his silky down feathers

who could have imagined this little duckling was really a swan

the prime of the litter and the joy of his mother

who could have imagined that all the...

Another Ugly Duckling
Hen gave birth to
four ducklings, out of
four eggs. All
 healthy.
Four came out
little ducklings ...
Four beautiful ducklings...
a fifth
I was already on the grass ...
Four normal ducks,
and another weird ...
The brothers so beautiful,
but this brother, what a pity ...
Ugly!
he just and so
ugly!
Nickname he quickly won and
picked up...

Ode To the Ugly Duckling
Oh the ugly duckling soon to be a swan
gliding in the the mountinous lake
beneath a shimmering dawn
in his youth his treatment cruel
and all confidence is gone
should you stay or fly away
when your life seems wrong
how could you know , that where you grow
and what you...
