A dainty crow writes a long letter
to a white duck.
My dear, I am really fed up with my lifestyle.
Everyday I have to fly here & there for my daily bread.
Nowadays it's very hard to find a crumb.
Everywhere scattered corpses
and I am a vegetarian.
Since the day I saw you,
I have a liking of your innocence.
Do you have enough space
in your muddy pond?
I too can float there
if we come to a compromise
with your parents blessings.
I am sure that we can have
black & white ducklings.
Please do not misunderstand me
I'll give you a guarantee
to look after the family.
Dedication for those who try to eradicate racism!
This is a wonderful piece Nimal. A morality tale in verse. The flow of it is beautiful and I like that there is no hectoring tone to it.
A warm and enchanting little fairy tale. In such a storybook world even crows and ducks live happily ever after. Very charming, Nimal. Sandra
I think you speak of a larger picture than crow and duck here, Nimal. Interesting slant to this message, slick and nice use of imagery. I like this one very much! Linda
