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.

hee hee. I think that it's important to have something like that in the case of a project like NaPo, and I can almost always write something about ducks.
