Mallard Duck by John James AudubonBlue Lake Rhapsody
(A huitain, 8 lines, 8 syllables/line, rhyme scheme: ababbcbd)
Kings and Queens of lake waters blue
insouciant fanning display
splendid colors, every hue
among grasses green, ducks at play
fluttering quackers, sunny day
quick steps like elegant dancers
water music, nature ballet
winds strumming in violin streams.

Simply beautiful Jo. For some reason, that old joke my Dad use to ask us when we were kids popped into my head. "What do you get when you cross 2 ducks with a cow?" And we all know it's Quackers and Milk! Haven't thought about that in years. Thanks.
