Migrating For the Winter

Bereft of warmth and succoring provender
But girded with the fortitude providence doth tender
Internal compass the charted course doth render
Steeled to navigate rough skies with built-in aerometer
Dislodged flocks flying south for winter
A winged armada pushing through shearing blender
Swirling masts soar into celestial splendor
In gallant ranks parade o'er corroding timber
In tight formations to withstand every passing rigor
Skirting every obstacle human craft can engender
Gliding through the availing winds, an astute orbiter

It never fails to amaze me at the altitude that those geese can fly. Yet their call can be be heard miles below as they communicate and co-ordinate their efforts of travel. You've written a good poem here to depict their movement to warmer climates. I enjoyed it. Rockman
