Their Wings Are Silhouettes

facing the
Firestone eyes of
the gray moon
Canadian geese
honk their
horns
retuning
back home
and soon,
their wings
are silhouettes
beating against
the wind

Swam further south and slipped into a pub,
The barman gave a wink,
Have this whisky to drink?...

When he honks at you his spittle is loose!

Premium Member Everything OK?

Feeling the calm breeze and sun today,
do you think that you've found peace, 
a cloudless sky with Canadian geese?
Remember, trouble is on the way,
and everything is not OK.
