Become the Swan
Example for my contest which is what I call a "Charlie-Quadku" (lol)
outside the shell
the ugly duck
without true heart...
gets uglier
the ugliest
of the ugly
with a true heart...
becomes the swan

Aww, How Cute -Haiku-
It's out for a swim
the baby duck looks for food
makes a cute picture.

Synecdoche of Predators
Scorpion
In the piles of wood,
a lizard was nipped by the
tail with a stinger.
Eagle
A pair of wide wings
flapping in the air swooped down
upon a serpent.
Alligator
Fangs in the river
quietly waits for a prey,
attacking the duck.

CHICKEN DUCK BIRD
seldom will I fly;
my feathers only allow;
me to walk and run
what am I a bird?
look out duck run for cover;
what’s my luck in this?
am I animal?
could be vegetable or fish;
what’s your wish CHICKEN?

Birds Now Flow South When Winter Comes Alas-
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

it's the golden hour
young duck swimming afternoon
hard rain patters down
the sun yet shines on
duck revelry in late bath
green river frolic
drought endured so long
but blooms and smiles are coming
I've had days like this
