Best Ducklings Poems

A mellow day it was in my city,
So I went outside to take a walk.
The river by my house was so pretty
I sat myself right down on a small dock.

I had with me a sandwich for my lunch.
Mom let me make it by myself, you...

She is a princess sitting on her throne;
her subjects down below now make their way
towards waiting hands, for only them alone
she holds a prize she wants to give away.

They paddle towards her through the river flow
to the reward she holds for them to share,
for she...

Cool water teases and tickles my toes
Whilst a warm summer breeze gently blows 
I sit here silently on the sun kissed wooden pier
Somehow the ducklings know that I’m here!

Mummy always gives me a big bag of bread
So I make sure every duckling will get fed
They...

An only child on grandpa’s farm
I idly dream my days away
in hidden nooks or wooded glades
where elves and fairies go to play.

I race the wind in open fields
in shades of yellow and plush green;
supine I lie watching the clouds,
pick out blue patches in between.

I chase...

Watch how easily souls are gathered
When words are falsely spent to mock
Unfettered as if hearts so mattered
Like tossing bread crumbs from a dock.

The least of ducklings are discerning
Fooled they're not by false repast
Paddling toward a chance of earning
While food through rippled currents last.

Fear rises from...

sailing behind proud mother...

Five ducklings feeding

The back of the camper bus
proudly sported the family 
seven yellow stickers ducks 
five little ducklings in a line
feeding on life presented to
the world growth sustenance
nourishment and meaning

For every fellow traveller
to ponder smile anticipate
what little team was to alight 
at temporary destinations
sheltered tented...

The ducks with their ducklings
In a summer day...

I still remember
when I was a little girl
mom and dad loving picnics
we liked this one place
with lots of old shady trees
and a wooden water pier

the little ducklings
swam right behind mother duck
and they were so sweet to watch
on the very end
of the pier I liked to...

She has a smile today instead of a frown
Lately, age and infirmity have gotten her down
“I’m off to feed the ducks and ducklings” she said
“With grain and some old pieces of bread.
Come with me and see how sweet they are,
The nice pond in the park...

FEEDING THE DUCKS


children love to feed 
ducklings in the park
the most rowdy child
will sit quietly
watching the ducklings

do not feed bread
carbohydrates
junk food, … causing
malnutrition

feed birdseed
frozen peas
oats, grains,… for

healthy
happy

ducks...

I sit at the end of the wooden pier

Near the river’s edge

As the current cool water veers

Unhindered away from the ledge


Watching the swirls on the water surface

As the ducklings swim,   as they leave the sedge

Aware of my bare feet, splashing the blue surface

For...

Penny had just walked down to the town market,
saved up all her money to buy a fresh loaf of bread,
“she has never done this before,” mother said warmhearted, 
“usually she buys yummy quarter candy pops instead.”

Her itty bitty toes dipped...

Feed The Ducklings


A different fun and different taste 
Spare some breads to feed the ducks
Morning day for the school learning
Evening is free for Lily to ducks

Shaking legs in the brink of river
Collection of pieces on tiny hands
Rosy cheek and mild wind please
When Lily serves feed...

calm
placid
clear blue lake
serene and still
in a wide palm-fringed
rich green verdant valley

mother duck leads and swims
in the tranquil lake
ducklings white, soft
follow her
one by
one
