Ducks at Play

Sleepy morning visions
of ducks at play
scrape
yesterday’s misery
away.

Vapid imagines
of day-break dew,
I fathom fantasies
brand new.

Given my way
I'd savor
only
you, me,
and ducks at play.

Another Revision.

I love this (although ducks scare me, fucknose why)

Creates a weirdly ethereal yet real picture, if that makes any sense.

My only crit would be that you seem to be pushing the point a bit hard. If you consider oneiric, dreams, imagines and visions as virtual similes it seems a bit perhaps repetitiive, perhaps or "the lady prosteth too much"?
