Your layout looks like the v formation that birds make but also like a Canadian goose head. Clever!

Can't blame them for flying south. LOL. They go north by here in the spring. I have seen one flock heading north but maybe a month ago. Brave souls they are. Thanks for the visits. Sara

They are a sight to behold. I live in the central flyway and see them in the spring and again in the fall. We even have locals that stay all summer. I get to see geese every day here.

Hey Jan, I love this piece. I always thought of birds flying south as a romantic journey in some way as they escape the winter's cold. A wonderful haiku and very creative too. Thanks for sharing!
