Hiller buried under down
shivers, shakes and sweats
vexed by sounds
soaring through warm air
swimming in his pool
filter death by feathers
it refused to let him be
no escaping those eyeballs
spying, stalking, haunting
a duck forever watching
anatidaephobia was his
Down from Under, watercolor by Sue
from Wikipedia:Anatidaephobia — fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you (fictional, from a Gary Larson cartoon published in The Far Side Gallery, 4).

Lovely piece! And what a wonderful new word I've just learned!
I also found an unusual word the other day! It's Canapygean and it's an adjective used to describe someone with perfectly formed buttocks!
See you on Writers Island Tuesday.
