Beautiful work—I especially like the line and stanza breaks. This poem has a lot of welcome space in it.

Thank you so much, David, especially for seeing that necessary space. It had to be there, as for the last two (or is it three?) years, I have only heard, but not seen, the geese.

The geese certainly were. I hear them every Feb-March.
Hopefully, it will last more than about a week before full-blown summer hits.

Thank you Chris, and one I have been fortunate to hear for the last few years. I saw them once. Flying over the moon. Still kick myself for not having my camera on me. But that’s how I know it’s snow geese. They don’t stay around hear, but pass through on their way up the Miss.

Those are stunning. I will have to take a deeper look into that work. There’s one of my lucky captures here:
Canada geese that time. Much more common for us.

Beautiful, lonely. Saying goodbye to winter. Right now I am getting ready for one more snowstorm. We have a BLIZZARD warning. Ugh.
