this earliest dutch morn
i heard birds flying above
sorry, no birds at all
i think they must be ducks
DUCKS? !
not so big, OK no birds but ducks
they are all so chatty while flying lowest
i realize,
dunno IF i am wise
they are not in disguise
do i stand
upon a land
my own
or not mine?
is this a dream?
no, not at all
just a real dutch morn
but those ducks flying
are they dutch or from australia?
how can i know about that?
my beloved bought a delicious BBQ duck last eventide
kept me thinking all the night
residents say this duck's home is in our neighbourhood
is this the same duck from that flying formation?
from which country from which nation?
the dutch ducks always fly in formation to the south
i must confide
last eventide
i could not swallow that bit duck in my mouth....

I hear quack, quack now after reading this poem. I quote few lines from your poem: how can i know about that? my beloved bought a delicious BBQ duck last eventide kept me thinking all the night............Hence when you woke up it was duck all around...singing, flying, bathing, swimming....Liked your poem Sylvia Madam 5 Stars.
Lovely poem Dutch Poetess. Ummm....yah.its like eating someone you know. Make sure he buys Australian duck only.
I could not swallow that bit duck in my mouth.As I understand you could not swallow because the duck was from your neighbourhood.Thanks for love for some thing from your neighbour.Excellent.

I would like to translate this poem
Studying the direction of flying ducks to find their original habitat is not a simple routine, but rather needs a humanitarian poet, kind to animals, a poet who sees the beauty of the visible and invisible universe with her special poetic eyes, differently from the rest. brilliant dear talented poet, it deserves 5 stars
