The heron's beak was
A blur when it finally
Struck, art of hunting.

It's a rough reality.
Definitely a disjointing experience, seeing someone in the mirror that you don't really recognise

I may try to turn it into a Haibun at some point...

Green headed mallard
Opens up his yellow beak;
"Quack!" Rings 'cross the pond.

Call me
Anatidae
It said
As if it were
A profound
Narrator
Of some
Famous tome
Willing to
Be a guide
On the proverbial
Mystical journey
Instead of a
Mere duck
On the way
To water
This pond not
On a map though
It quipped
True places
Never are

This is the second piece he has written about some sort of bird related debauchery.
🤣🤣🤣

Okay, that's weird...
But the beak does look really smooth, I see where you're coming from.

The bill, the beak
So smooth and sweet
I run my tongue along
Mothers grab their children
As they shriek
Mom, what’s that man doing?
Close your eyes, don’t look
That man is a freak

Hello Wild walk writers

I got a nice close up of a duck today, and couldn't help but choose that as the prompt. Have fun writing !

Thank you Dave!
It means a lot to hear that.
Especially from you!

I was kind of worried it wouldn't be relatable enough.
Evidently
(and happily)
I was wrong 😅

i #log the days.
they #sink,
slowly.

i #sweep the floor,
tired,
#fatigued.

yet something shifts—
a small #evolution,
a spark of #verve.

my work,
my little #oeuvre,
keeps me going.
