Bath Salts

[lauraelizdok]

I had just drawn a bubble bath - I feel like you have opportunity for another line here. Could add more rhythm and more imagery.
when my pen was stolen
by a cocksure mallard.

He fled to a pond
with my tool in his beak,
and a quack threw some crumbs
and he opened his cheek. - perhaps find an alternative to 'and' here? (To avoid the repetition).
 
I stripped to my briefs and leapt in the muck,
hoping to leave with my tool- again, feel like another line added here would help add strength and rhythm
and the duck.

He flew off again,
and I groped for my pen,
but all I could feel
was fish guck.

I straggled back home
and drew up a bath,
while planning a meal
of duck confit hash. - love that it ends on cooking the duck, gives the poem it's fun quality. However, duck confit hash feels a bit forced, to rhyme with bath. A less forced alternative would offer more humour I think. In fact, a non-rhyming ending might even add to the effect.

P.s love the fun of this poem!
