Throw the bread
High into the air
Wait for the rush
For them to appear
——–
Wings flapping
Beaks snapping
Jostling
Pecking
Fighting
Begging
——–
Throw the bread
This is fun
Now spot the
Weak
Lonely
Hungry
Needy
The ones we’ve overlooked
———
Throw the bread
Feed every one
Try to be fair
Each gets a share

when my boys were young there was a park we went to and had such fun feeding hte ducks…we would get up on the tables because there were so many of them…
I might be loving this because I love ducks, but I can also relate because I would do the same where I would throw the food at the weaker birds. I liked the pacing of this poem and it captured the scene well.
Love this. Brings some memories to mind. I love the way this reads.
nice…having an eye on them that are weak and not quick enough to keep pace with the others…being fair…a good thing..
yes. great fun.
