Duck Poems

The end 
It took along time to make sense of it, 
runaway problems sitting duck intensive,
the life it sucked, 
I never believed all areas of my life could turn on me 
while no one would do what right, 
alone all...Read More

Somewhere in the realms of tomorrow
I spy a special birdie
She flies near my cheek and gives a peck
Oh !I love that duck
She is a darling
Now I should imprint her on my coffee mug....Read More

There once was a duckling so cute
Who slid down a long water shute
His mother was shaken by the risk he had taken
But the duck thought the ride was a hoot...Read More

The wind gusts, emotions rising. Rushing and shopping, the store clerk advising.

Stagnant and alone, will I always be stuck? Craving movement,  fast as a duck!

The rush of the crowd, getting bumped and pushed. Anger flares, once again ambushed....Read More

When you find a marble in your hand or head
(And you will because it will be roundish)
Hurl it immediately at humans to get attention                ...Read More

so long ago belief
doubtings sniped from
crannies, nook crevices,
duck and cover under desks
not just school exercise
of futility, life walk too
was never an unchallenged 
path.

bathed midst forgotten
legacies, nary one tested,
self rooted desires abridged
till seething panic burst
soul quivering visions
into riotous dances tracing 
myriad...Read More

Brave bird, soaring overhead yonder
   O, breathtaking bird --- PLOP! ---
I need repair to shampoo my hair and ponder

Noble steed, racing like the wind o'er yonder
   O, swift stallion --- NOT THAT WAY, CRAZY HORSE! ---

IF ONLY I OWNED A DUCK

Xmas and New Year gone, you are now off the lash
Found you have chucked the cat out with the trash

Viewing last year’s repeat of Noels, deal or...Read More

A wandering duck met a male turkey
at Plymouth Harbor in late October,
the exact spot where the Pilgrims landed,
and reflecting on the lost freedom of turkeys,
" Look, not far from here turkeys roamed freely! "
The turkey exclaimed. " They were looking...Read More

like the winter bird
often longing to be heard
I await the sounds
~
I await the sounds
of the deep swallows calling
robins and duck fly
~
on their way southward
winter winds comes it's now cold
now flow where it's warm

I count the sparrows at my feeder,
watch them come and go.
The birds are a happenstance,
they flicker in and out, die and return,
but they themselves stay the same,
only their number records a difference,
creates a clock for the sun.
I sup my tea.

Since the temperature will be
Around the thirty-fifth degree,
We will not be expecting snow,
And there will be no mistletoe.

A fine, hot Christmas we foresee,
Since the temperature will be
Apparently extremely high,
A super-sun up in the sky,

We will feel in no condition
To follow...Read More

My Gift,

“The pure present is an ungraspable advance of the past devouring the future. In truth, all sensation is already memory.” - Henri Bergson

I feel, I felt
tingles in the far recesses of my soul
swirling in an ever circular motion
surrounding the...Read More

A donkey and an elephant in a kangaroo court.
Are turning the zookeepers into a political sport.
The zookeepers are in a frustrated rage.
By the donkey's fabricated stage.
They seem to be down on their luck.
But if it looks, walks, quacks, its probably...Read More

silently staring 
at the beauty 

there are many words 
inside the heart treasure

but the eyes, in silence step up 
for the love 
there the language of love 
live in taciturn...Read More

In a very grand house
With a cat and a mouse
And a duck for friendship sake...Read More

Is it not odd that a duck
   does not know how to cluck

Ducks know how to quack
   but a cluck they do lack

A hen's a chicken, not a duck
   And can she ever cluck...

I had my plan memorized, and I picked the right time.
I walked into the bank when there was no line.
I walked up to the teller and presented a note.
She hadn’t lived my life, ya see I was going...Read More

A duck that used to waddle
Could not swim, just paddle
This concerned it of course
Using an inflatable horse
He swam the lake on its saddle...Read More
