While walking through my neighborhood yesterday morning, I heard something in the distance—a familiar honking. “No way!” I thought to myself. “Couldn’t be geese, not in February

I looked up and sure enough, a gaggle of geese was flying above me in V-formation.  “Mid-February? They must know something I don’t know otherwise why would they be flying north?” I continued watching them until they were out of view, noticing that the geese had a pride about them, as if they were well aware of their own instincts and their celestial magnificence.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ silent whispers echo throughout the sky journey mapped long before start guided by their instincts in V-formation a squadron of geese wings beat as one~unity symbol of harmony with wings outstretched, they dance upon the breeze geese sing anthem of freedom their honks~melodious

Some magnificent writing, Sara. Same thing here is Missouri. I saw two separate gaggles of them, so they surely know something. The Department of Conservation is saying to start hummingbird feeders next week.

I agree with you, Gershon. They're magnificent, graceful as ballerinas on a stage.

Aren't geese lovely when flying in a V formation? Your poem about the geese is deliciously beautiful.

I agree with you, Jennifer...nature is beautiful to watch unfold...I consider myself fortunate to live in a semi-rural town and on the edge of it where I can witness the miracles in nature. They inspire and uplift me every day. Thanks for your delightful comments. Have a blessed evening, hugs, Sara

I enjoyed reading your post about the sighting of the geese. Weren't you awed in the presence of the sound and formation. When they get to our area for some reason, they will be arguing about something up there. I guess the leader of the gaggle is tired and wants the last one who is now rested to come take his/her place in leading the group. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Sara K
