Mandy,
What a mellow setting to sit and contemplate the poetry of spring. I've heard the muse and she is you.;-)

The picture is so beautiful- I can see me and my dad sitting there feeding the ducks...
Just a wonderful pic and haiku, Mandy- thank you for this today...

Such a peaceful scene. The mallard's "mumblings" can be quite soothing.

I would love to be sitting on that bench with a cup of coffee, just listening.

Wonderful mood captured by the photo and poem. I could sit there for hours, tea in hand.
