analogy,
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

animal,
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.

Hungry hawk hovers
Quiet quail quakes and quivers
Corn cover conceals

deep, flower, green, night, sunshine, time, water,
strawberries in cream
basking in the gold sunshine
a deep diving duck
into tall green grass
a crowded garden's fragrance
caught out in the rain
the blackness of night
twinkling stars surrounding all
the world lost in time

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?

analogy, beautiful, blessing, celebration,
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

animal, fun, happiness, nature, rain, river, sunshine,
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
