Comment from Sasha
I am not sure where to begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this. I am convinced you could write a poem about the telephone book and it would be a winner. I just love:
They trust the pond will hold them up,
its purpose to be buoyant --
Beautiful photo of Sawyer too. Marvelous work with this one, I enjoyed it immensely.

Isn't this true of all nature. We humans seem to be the only species that screws it up.

A good example of faith.

Comment from GracieAnn
Brooke, this is a thoughtful write that is well written and positive. I guess it all rides on faith. However one frames it, faith is a belief in something with a track record and the source may be seen or unseen. Well done. :0 GracieAnn

Your work has a nice calming flow both in the rhythm and the rhyme from start to finish. The art work also adds to the calming effect if the poem.

Well, It is a nicely written poem, in form, and I can see what you are trying to say. I think the example you chose is not really accurate, and that takes away from the message.

Ducks have so much trust in the water. I wish I could say the same. I'm what one might think as a scary swimmer. Had lessons and still I suck.

Another testament in your ability to take a photo and develop something profound within its meaning.
A simple life a duck leads as they try to show us in there own simple way.
Nicely done, Brooke (with Sawyer's help of course). John

I can relate--we saw lots of ducks during our recent trip. I also used to use the expression "Be a duck" when adversity struck! I enjoyed your rhythmic, rhymed quatrains and your wise advice. More hugs- Joan

A duck once told me what kind of doctor my neighbor's father was; "Quack!"
As always there was perfect rhyme and meter. This was a very cute poem--Ted
