I went for a walk this evening...right after I got home. The temperature was great, the wind was calm, and the sky was a masterpiece!! As usual, I walked around the pond across the way, and I was not disappointed! There...on the water, was what I suppose technically was a 'gaggle' of geese. They were spectacular!! As I walked around the pond, they turned, in unison. All thirty or so of them caressing the curves of the bank gently, silently keeping pace with me...
I watched them glide
Majestic, feathered ships
Across the shimmering
Expanse of ebony glass…
Bold, proud,
Graceful to a fault
Not blinking, never veering
They stayed the course…
In unison, they shifted
Silently slicing the surface
Their fowl ballet
Captured my mind’s eye…
I imagined them
Swooning…deftly
Chaine’,Bourree’,
Web footed Danseur’s.
