NATURE POETRY
This Poem is For the Birds
I am zapped by life from time to time
That is when I write a rhyme.
Driving along,
I recently saw
About fifty small birds flying west
And one lone Canada goose flying east.
And then the fifty whatever type birds
Did a gala U-turn in the sky
And followed the one lone Canada goose.
Whoever can know why?
Maybe they thought he was the guy in the know.
- Adele Koehnke
