Monday Morning

[summer_jackel]

I would give you the poem that came to me
before my eyelids opened this morning.
it was three perfect, elegant lines.
Of course I'd forgotten them by the time I finally woke up.

Instead, there are
two mallard hens upended in a streamside ditch,
orange-webbed and quacking excitedly.

I love the simple visual.

I wish it were napowrimo all year for you! :)

I sort of adore that ducks are your fallback imagery in the case of "I had something brilliant and evocative, but then I woke up all the way and promptly forgot it".
