Caveat: Poem #2331 “A visitation”

ㅁ
The ice along the seashore spoke out loud
lamenting its abandonment, alone:
the tide had left it broken on the rocks.
A duck approached, and clambered on the ice,
assessed the scene, and looked askance, dismayed:
but in the end turned tail and swam away.

– six lines of blank verse (iambic pentameter).
