Wild goose

Yesterday, I saw in the autumn sky,
crossing innocent and white goose,
they went only under the blue sky
towards a doubtless wonderful place,

They flew by shouting,
hoarse sounds and nevertheless polite,
which told in the clouds to deviate,
and to the curious ones not to hamper them,

They flew in tight formation,
they were twelve and with experience
took turns to overcome the wind,
and exceed so all the agonies,

What is this country? Have I asked,
they answered without stopping,
we fly until the exhaustion,
it is not for your understanding....

Yann, I absolutely love, love, LOVE this!  I could see the geese and hear them honking their beautiful mournful cry throughout the poem and especially loved the conversation between the geese and you.  I could tell from your description that you really did watch geese flying in formation because you described it so perfectly. Bravo!  Kudos!

I wonder if the place they go can be quite so wonderful as the sky they traverse to get there.  You got me with the picture you paint here.
