On an icy morning, I met a mallard,
wondering what had made the canal hard.
“Don't worry,” I said, “It's just the winter.
It makes the water hard to get int’er.”

Mallard confusion
On an icy morning, I met a mallard,
wondering what had made the canal hard.

Excellent. Your poem and picture inspired me to write this haiku:
A duck in the dock -
"How do you plead?" said the beak
"I'm not guilty, mallard"

Nice! Feel humbled to have inspired it.
Presumably your mallard is now doing bird.
