My dad never noticed the pond. This poetess can't help but see...

the ingenious geese, in the pond, fluttering wings - six fountains of grace they take off like jet fighters like blue angels all in synch

A lovely Tanka Kim. Your lower phrase mingles nicely with the upper phrase. I love the way you've described modern technology as an extension of nature.

Love this tanka dear Kim. A few lines that poetically describe so much to the reader that you can picture the pond and all its activity. Really clever wordplay. You can hear the ‘fluttering of wings’ as they take off! Great poetry. So enjoyed it. Thank you. Hugs and smiles to you for a great weekend. X :):)

Those geese are so graceful aren't they. I am glad you shared this one with us. Very creative way you expressed the idea. Sara K

A sighting I had! Hopefully did it justice! It was so cool. I believe I was the only human to witness this particular sighting.
