The view is even more beautiful by the reflection of the sky on the surface.
Inside the puddle,

            there was a duck

with a light beige

    and brown body and
        orange and teal wings.


I wondered   how
             how
           how
         it could survive
         in such a small body of water.

  As
  I

  to
  take
  a
  closer look,


                  the duck
              suddenly
            flew up
        into the sky.

I was astounded

    by how close it flew,
    passing less than a meter away from me.

        I never knew ducks could fly.
        I never knew ducks could fly.
        I never knew ducks could fly.


Other people nearby were also amazed
          by the sight of the flying duck.

Today,

        I saw 24 swans
                  at once,
    as well as
      the flying duck.


                I'm still not sure
       if it was real or just a dream.
