another installment in our Poetry for POAS Pursuers series. Enjoy.
Don't they make you sad,
Those wild geese winging southward,
O lonely scarecrow?
From the rainy dark
Comes faint white cries of wild geese,--
How lonely it is.
Crying out the end
Of a long summer's sun,--
Departing wild geese.
Departing wild geese
Are fanning the moon brighter
With their tireless wings.
While plucking the goose,
A feather flew wildly off
To look for snowflakes.
