A pond full of frogs in the fall
kept the forest awake with their call
'til a duck, hearing dinner
made a visit, and in a
split second he'd swallowed them all.
i thought that ducks feed on old bread
dumped my loafs in the lakes, algae spread
now the stink attracts flies
and the little fish die
but the frogs and the ducks are still fed.

A duck flying home in the fall,
Acrobated his tricks to enthral.
As the female ducks clapped,
As they all homeward flapped;
He let out an exuberant call.
oops, didn't look before I posted; vagabond beat me by 4 minutes... c'est la vie

The frogs and their flies,
And the ducks and their fish.
Since our words enact all,
Guess we've made us a dish.

if i was out of supper but not words and a wish
it would not exactly be flies and dead fish
and frogs seem too viscous
but ducks, sure, delicious.

Wished for my supper
some smiles with fine wine,
out popped some laughter
in a glass of moon shine

That moon needs supper! She's as thin
as clippings from a finger nail.
Pour white wine! Invite her in,
feed cheese, to grow her strong and hale.

That moon is drunk now!
she is an embarrassment
to all her little shadows.

Oh moon, your dreams
on cheese before bed
will be as scary as mine.

Meals of fat fishes
Moons made of cheese
Dreams made of wishes
Kisses of breeze

dreams of creased dishes
of moon-silvered fishes,
star-frankled cheeses

clouds hunt a cheese moon,
hurricane dreams, the dead sea
attempts a storm surge
and burps a fish bone
