Let's go for a walk in the park, I insist, The weather is fine, it may be a bit brisk. Stuck my head out the door just to be sure, A bit of a breeze, nothing I can't endure. Off we go, taking the dog and leaving the cat, I decide it would be fine not to wear my hat. This turned out to be a most memorable day, The so called slight breeze blew off my toupee!

There is nothing more hilarious for any of us to see
Is to watch a kitten jump into a raked up pile of leaves
Even better, trying to catch one slowly drifting down
Floating on a breeze that has the kitten twirling around
When they crawl in through the bottom of this neat pile
You stand there in expectation wearing a slight smile
Suddenly they pop up with big eyes looking right at you
Leaves flying everywhere, it’s not likely you had no clue
Next comes the most entertaining activity of the year
You laugh so hard your eyes get filled up with tears
Oh for a camera so you could have taped this episode
Standing in front of you that pile of leaves explodes

This little duck didn't have webbed feet Other ducks laughed when they'd meet His mama said, I think it is really neat He swims and waddles to his own beat This little duck was named Webless Hank When others laughed his little heart sank After all he had no trouble walking on land His daddy said his swimming was quite grand You know this little duck could even climb trees And swing from branches, tail waving in the breeze He grew up proud with great parents he could thank No matter how big the pond, he would have never sank So how this tail ends I'll tell you my feathered friends When the wind blows, with it you must always learn to bend No matter how much and loud the other ducks honk and quack Pay no attention, let it roll, like water off a duck's back Author Eileen Clark 2022
From the author, it’s just a fun poem, no reason why the idea came to me, it just did.
Why might it be hard to survive as a duck with web-less feet? It’s solely because of ineffectiveness while swimming. Ducks need web in place of space as we humans have, as they spend a lot of time in swimming in the water. This is just a cute poem I had fun writing friends.

I try to walk very gently through a field filled with wildflowers
Not crushing them under my feet takes a short walk many hours
On hot days I flap my ears over them to give out a slight breeze
If not for me they would dry up for this field doesn’t have trees
Lots of bees and butterflies continually dance around my head
Getting stung or one flying up my trunk is a thing I daily dread
I am blessed with having such freedom and plenty of space to roam
Concrete floors and iron bars is sadly what some elephants call home

From My Porch After the end of a long hot day At the end of my rope - with nerves all frayed I sat on the porch…to rest a spell As the sun slipped… slowly behind the hill Calmed…by the lingering…after glow I watched…the summer night unfold Crimson streaks…on a sky of blue Melted…in a thousand…different hues Got lost…in the dark…without the light Leaving…just their shadows…in the night And in fields…of clover…across the way The crickets…began…their serenade As fireflies danced…with sheer delight Glowing…in love…with this summer night And there…ahead…at the end of the road Above the bridge…where the river flows It rose - like magic - before my eyes An orange moon… so big…it filled the sky
