The day I fell in love with a duck

He floats aimlessly
Around his island 
In search of home?
I sit writing in my gloves

I found this new spot today. Perfect.
The water tickles the trees bare
Swirling round the land
All is calm yet
The wind fights all

Mr Duck has gone now
But I know I'll be here again
Soon 
To feed him

Offers of love
I seek only kind friendship 
Is all
Of yet

Bread goes stale in my 
Crumb filled pocket

Mr Green is only ever 
Seen with his green veiled
Dog.

I see him again behind the leaves
And hope he sees me
With any luck
I may fall in love 
With this fine blue
Collared duck.
