Time.
Frozen,
Shared wonder—
Child meets duckling
Exuberance joins
Golden-hue spectacle
Feathered curiosity
Post-rain puddles playtime joy found
Memories created for the first
Time. Frozen, shared wonder—child meets duckling

    2. The first time I wrote a dectina refrain it wrote itself in minutes. This is my 2nd attempt and this one took a few more tries. But I loved the photo immediately when I came across it and thought this poetic form was ideal!! So stuck with it.
