A Window On My World
: By The Duck Pond by LisaMay



Company of ducks

frolicking at local pond

brings cheer to my day.

I envy the ducks’

green iridescent feathers:

they can fly away.

Yet they, too, squabble

and chase each other to peck

each ruffled feather.

Even with freedom,

fam’ly, and a swimming pool,

they still want much more.

Author Notes
Author's Notes:
Under Covid-19 lockdown here in New Zealand we have to stay home, only allowed to leave to buy food or get medical supplies, but also allowed to walk locally for exercise.
I am lucky that our city's Botanic Garden is in my neighbourhood; I always enjoy spending time at the duck pond. I never thought I could get jealous of a duck!
