I just saw it happen, <br /> in front of my eyes, <br />A life has now ended, <br /> a horrible demise. <br />One minute lived free, <br /> and had not a care, <br />The next second death, <br /> the tragedy not spared. <br />Twas that scant second realized, <br /> her dangerous plight, <br />When the car snatched her life, <br /> while turning in flight. <br />My heart broke to see her, <br /> with feathers askew, <br />And knowing there was nothing, <br /> that anyone could do. <br />And in that brief moment, <br /> she ran out of luck, <br />Cause that moment ended, <br /> the life of a duck. <br /> <br />3/14/05<br /><br />Gary Bryson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/death-of-a-duck/
