Geese honking, flapping,                                     
Excited, winging northward,
V formation fly,
Tell our northern friends "hello",
Fly high!.. Safe journey!.. Goodby!

Doris Culverhouse March 20, 2010 at 1:53 PM cute shape and poem, you are talented--if I try to make a larger scale picture it never stays in place---it will shift over a few lines and skew the picture. any suggestions?

Audrey Haick March 17, 2010 at 4:29 PM Very delightful poem, Robert... I guess it's our turn to welcome the geese!!! Goes to my favs today..truly delightful
