    Canadian Geese (Cinquain)
    Gorgeous
    Birds of the north
    Forms....that V-shape....up high 
    Migrating down south...to Georgia.
    Behold

    Thanks for admiring brother.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
