Crimson’s Creative Challenge #173 Thoughts of wife and family

It’s a sad and lonely life I lead

drifting slowly across the lake

till with a splash into the reeds

I dive and choose which meal to take

a fish, a frog sometimes an eel

are caught and then devoured by me

but come Springtime such a meal

will be shared with my family

of hen and chicks if we’re so blessed

waiting patiently on the nest.
