Domesticated Geese

There once were white domesticated geese Who were haughty and proud Totally self-absorbed with group Honked very long and loud They stayed contained within their space Strutted in their whiteness As if they were graceful as swans Swans suppress in rightness canadian geese flew high overhead that day... winter cold forcast canadian geese on migratory flight south... predicts winter cold When domesticated geese saw the elegant flight, realized that thoughts not right.. Rhyme or verse called a form of Poulter's measure Haiku Monoku Sponsor: Anthony Slauson Contest: Whiteness

Somehow, I got the idea that the white geese were inhabitants of a planet that were being visited by extraterrestrials represented by the Canadian geese. I'm sure this interesting write can be interpreted in other ways.
