Three ducks pecked around
In a garden one warm day
They wore beautiful coats
Of white feathers to display

I love living creatures and this poem is wonderful. I have five poems, but they are not activated yet. Why does it take so long for a new poet? Some of them were posted three days ago!
Beautiful and nicely done. This the kind of poem that make it to classic book of children rhyme
Beautiful ending to end a good poem: So my friend, please remember If you feel something's amok At your child's wading pool You may find 3 white ducks!
i had a three-duck-stew just last week. DELICIOUS! ! ! favorite stanza: But it grew hotter and hotter Oh dear, it was warm If they didn't find water Could it do them some harm? ............................to MyPoemList. bri :)
One and a half years after my first encounter, I enjoyed reading this poem yet again. I like ducks and their white coats. Thanks. God Bless You.
I love ducks! And this delightfully imaginative and soft poem does them justice Is rewarded with3 Quaks
Thank you, Sandra, but I wouldn't want to make the mama duck angry! haha
Congratulations, Marilyn! I left two comments on this poem back in May. It was nice to read it once again. Poem Hunter has finally recognized it as being worthy of Poem of the Day status!
Oh, thank you so much, Kim! I appreciate the time you spent reading my little poem!
Read this poem long time back. Loved it then, loved it now. The pleasant ending suggests how joy can be found in observing simple things.
It was a lovely summer day! With the muse of the ducks in the garden. Nice work.
Amazing piece of poetry. It will go down well with grown ups as well as with young children alike. Thanks.
This poem made me smile large and the imagery is vivid, one can see those three white ducks. I think this ought to be in a children's book Marilyn.....
P.S. Bears have also been seen in the area. I haven't seen one, but found what appeared to be bear scat on the hill above the lot.
Loved this poem, Marilyn. Brings back great memories of what happened years ago. We have some property in the mountains above Huntsville, Utah. One day someone brought a children's wading pool up to the lot where a bunch of the family had gathered. They filled the pool with water and three or four small girls were splashing in the pool and having a good time. It was a hot day, probably July or August. Suddenly there was a loud crashing noise and a large cow moose came charging out of the woods and headed straight for the water in that pool. You should have seen those kids scream and scatter. After that I bought a water tank, then another and another. We now enjoy daily seeing deer and moose, chipmunks and squirrels, and all kinds of birds come to drink the water out of those tanks. The people in the cabin on the lot above ours saw a mountain lion one day, but we weren't there that day to see it. I have seen a bobcat in the road on the way up to the lot. I love poems about nature. Keep it up.
cute poem i can really see the ducks and what a surprise when the wild ones land in a pool..good poem lovely rhyme...
