Notes About The Poem

I am, somewhat surprisingly (to me, anyway) beginning a series of poetry-written-when-I-hear-the-geese-throughout-my-day.

White-River Sky, Streaming Geese

I watched the Sun
     convince the Sky

to forget the Moon.

Songbirds sang.
Songbirds called.
A woodpecker made dull sounds
     from an interesting tree.
A rooster crowed.
The geese flew overhead beneath
     an unseen Moon.

The Sky forgot.
The sun confused.
And I
     Remembered.
