Without a Splash

the full moon
tosses five geese on the lake
without a splash

Pointing the way

hiking trail
vees of wild geese overhead
point the other way

Peaceful Neighbours

Blue Butterflies

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
