The Zen of Duck Watching
There is so much Nature around us here in the middle of the City. Yes, its true, they did pave paradise and put up a parking lot, but turns out paradise is a stronger opponent then we initially thought. After all, a little plant bursting thru the cracks of a sidewalk, has only one mission- LIFE! And that's a pretty ahsum force!
I watched this duck pedaling his way thru a break in the ice, towards open water. His determination inspired me to procrastinate and write a haiku. Travis joined me and then there were two. Feel free to write your own in the comment section, you may win something! Here are ours:
M:
Above, cold white light
An opening in the way
My toes are freezing
T:
Icy waters hard
Breaking thru carving struggling
Shitting where I eat

Brrr cold water,
I was going south,
Tail feathers frozen.
That's probably wrong, I can' remember the rules of writing a haiku. I love T's last line.
Nice J. the rhythym is 5-7-5. we realized during this process T has a gift for last lines
Ok, I really pretty much hate poetry but these are GREAT!!!
Human looking at me
Damn this water is freezing
Go away human
