THOSE DAMN DUCKS

THOSE DAMN DUCKS
 
Every Evening
About
the
Time
Suns Burn Orangish Bronze
I See Shadows
of
Two Descending Ducks
Growing

Larger...
Larger...

Larger
upon
My lawn


When I Pretend I Don’t See Them
They Land
Near my Pond
 
One Male…
Multi Colored
Handsome,,,,,,Strong
 His Female Devotee
Tad Bit Taller
Beautiful…… Blonde
 
 On Cue They Arrive

I Watch Those Damn Ducks
Study Every Move

 Male
Inhales
Fresh air
Swelling Breast Hair
 
 She Quenches Her Thirst
First

I Swear
They are
In Love

 
Invincible
Protecting His Female
From Dangers Below
Or
 Above
 
 He Drinks
Finally
 
 

Its Obvious
the
Absoluteness
of
Their Content

Never Once
When They Dine
Near My home

Do They Ignore Each Other
Reaching Wingpockets
Text-Sexting
 He-She-Mailing
Facebooking

Heads Buried
In
Cell Phones

Both
Pluck
and
Cleanse
the
Other’s Feathers

Post Dining Discussions

Life Travels
Over Hills
Beautiful Terrains
Cavernous Valleys

Tumultuous Weather

 
They
are
In Love
 
 
 
While They Nest
in
Tandem
Heads Perch
 Opposed Directions
Intelligent
 Love Ducks
 Tactically Teaming Senses
for
 Crucial Protection

 
I Could Swear
They Sleep
with
Open Opposite Eyes
Quacking Sweet Nothings

Minus Human Lies

 
I’ve Learned
Ducks Comrade
for
Life

No Divorce Litigations
No Temporary Separations
No Imaginary Borders
 No Restraining Orders

At
 First Signs
of
Strife

True
Til Death Do They Part

We Humans
 Think We’re So Smart
 
Sobbing
I Think
 of
Husbands
Wives
Soaring Away
in
Separate Skies

Empty Tries
Lies
Enjoying Fragrances
 Nectar
Of
Another's Inner Thighs

 The Sun Begins
to
Rise
Raising Its Fierce Molten Brow
My Head Bends in Bow
What Happened to Us

When
 Where
 How

I Hear Their Wake-up Chatter
  Webbed Feet Pitter Patter
Taxi 'cross
my
 Pond

 Male Taking Flight
Scrutinizing Airways
Previous His
Bride
His Blonde

My Two Ducks
 
Float Away
 in
Flight

Soaring

TOGETHER!!
TOGETHER!!


 
In Grey,
Stormy
Sunny
Freezing
Skies Above

Shadows Grow

Smaller
Smaller

Smaller

 

 
Those Damn Ducks

Hey Gee :) I really enjoyed reading this. And I think the lines
"I Swear
They are
In Love
Invincible
Protecting His Female
From Dangers Below
Or
Above" are absolutely beautiful. Very well done. I am looking forward to more of the Got Life? one you posted previously.
