Brooke,I'm never disappointed
when I read your work. Your
form is always meticulous and
correct. Your sentence structure/
syllable count is always spot on
and the verbiage gives such delightful
pictures for our minds.. This poem
squarely denotes that in all things
you give the glory to the divine.
Wonderful... Lora

Nicely done. I liked the rhymes and the poem flowed well. I have heard of the pattern geese use when they migrate. The fact has been used many times in team building exercises at companies where I've worked. thanks for sharing.

Hi, Brooke, Thanks again for a most thought provoking and beautifully composed poem about something I've taken for granted. Thanks, too, for the author notes. I always thought they flew in a vee to see better. ( No rear end crashes that way, either). LOL I have enjoyed this poem a great deal. Mary

I always lift my face to the sky
with a smile on my lips when I hear
a flock of geese overhead. There is something
so powerful, majestic, and noble about the
sight of these magnificent creatures - you've
captured their very essence in the lines of
your poem! Thank you - from a Canadian-goose lover!

It's amazing how nature's instincts are geared towards the well being of the group, like humans animals need eachother to help them survive.

Kinda does away with calling anyone a silly goose, doesn't it? Good poem, Brooke, and that's an interesting rhyme scheme (no I am not about to try it, lol). The odd-line-out makes a curious effect, stopping the verses from becoming sing-song; it's almost like a deliberate hiccup.

Good luck in the contest!

Louise :))

    I had not thought about the silly goose saying - you just made me laugh :-) Yes, the chain rhyme does have that effect, though I had not thought about that either! Thanks, Louise :-) Brooke

Well adewpearl..this is absolutely brilliant. It flows like hot butter on a knife and is extremely well versed. I especially liked the last line...devised for them by One Divine. (How profound) I dont have a 5+ left sorry.

Great job pea and a perfect entry for this contest. This poem is beautifully written, with such a smooth rhthym and effortless flow that you can almost feel the choreography the geese entertain us with when they fly enmasse.

You have painted a lovely picture of this spectacle and I think this is the winner my friend! Hugs to you, regards, Jan

Dear Brooke,
I love your devotion to careful research and its incorporation in such delightful poetry (or are you a closet aerodynamics engineer along with your other impressive qualifications). Another great poem.
Regards
Reg

    Reg, you have found me out - most people think I had a double major in sociology and African American Studies, but that is because I hide my triple major in aerodynamic engineering from them - secret because I do classified work for the government! LOL Thanks so much, my friend :-) Brooke

Hi Brooke,

Another wonderful masterpiece; musing over the overwhelmingly complicted details of each and everything that has been created for us.

It is a wonderful gift to look at a flock of geese and see more than just a bunch of birds moving somewhere.

Have a great weekend,

DaveO
