White Bird
Overhead, a flock of Canada geese
cut through chill morning fog
a surprise to start
the day &emdash; but look!
Isn’t that a white goose
among those sleek brown birds?
Yes, one white goose
part of their perfect
V formation
like a lone poet
among prose writers
odd, but lovely.

Have you actually considered adding a lot more videos to your posts to maintain the readers more entertained? I mean I just study via the entire post of yours and it was very great but since I’m a lot more of the visual learner,I discovered that to be more helpful.
Thank you. This is the first time (after 15 years of publishing poetry online) that I have had responses to a poem. “Singular” was based on actually seeing a white goose flying with the Canada gray gooses. Don’t you sometimes feel like that bird, sort of fitting in?
