Danced on Air
(Couplets)
They danced on air,
this mated pair.
From earth they'd fling
in a graceful swing.
With feathered flair
they rose to midair.
Two geese on the wing,
an ordinary thing.
I became aware
of their presence there.
They owned the sky
as they flew on by.
It was such a sight
of two birds in flight,
As they hung overall,
I was in their thrall,
compelling the height
of my delight.
Their responses flow
when cold winds blow.
When I heard their call,
it was late late fall.
Their instincts know
when it's time to go.
So I waved goodbye
with a heavy sigh.

Author Notes
Two Geese on the wing in the fall. I captured these two in flight. They had just taken off from a pond. You can see the one behind is honking away. Actually, I'm not that sad to see them go. They are noisy and messy birds.
This poem is just simple rhymed couplets of varying length.
This picture was taken by the author himself.
