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 threw small pieces of soft, wet bread until I gave her...

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 be like a queen, To be known and be respected, To be...

Premium Member I Wandered Lonely As a Duckling
"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 grow Growing in beauty, pure as the snow, Sweet as honeydew or...

Poor poor thing he went sad to cry, he did...

She was an inch too short, a step too slow A minute late, her voice too low One tooth missing, inept at kissing One toe deformed, no repair performed Skin too pale, hair too thin Committed petty crimes and sins Rather dull, bereft of hope Abused alcohol, smoked dope An...

I was the ugly ducking who was never accepted Bullies made me hate school, but my mistakes came as a better lesson Me, myself and I were together stepping I began to like being the ugly duckling, even if I was never accepted Parents weren't around to protect me or guide me Faking a smile to hide the real issues...

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 sly, At the wash basin At home or in a restaurant, Or in...

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 tease, the mockery, the strife. Cruel words spoken that cut like a...
