the full moon
tosses five geese on the lake
without a splash
migration
Pointing the way
hiking trail
vees of wild geese overhead
point the other way
Peaceful Neighbours
sharing a rain pool
a flutter of butterflies
in sweet communion
My response to Fandango’s prompt for today: NEIGHBOURS
Love of the Prairie — 4
Long Goodbyes
haunting cries of the geese
their long lines of farewell
written in the sky
Empty Nest
sad grey nest
built with such care — no robins
return this spring
He Has To Stay
the scarecrow flaps
his empty sleeves–but he can’t join
the geese heading south
Mute Swans
mute swans fly over
white wings in a neat vee
leaving me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Twenty or more—a beautiful sight to see first thing this morning!)
Left Behind
Canada geese
slice the morning fog— calling
but leave us behind
Geese on the Pond
Salt-and-pepper flakes
bob on a secluded pond
blast off if I sneeze
Sandhill cranes
See the sandhill cranes
sweep over, proclaiming fall
my heart echoes their cry
