November Geese

Looking out across the fields –
the sky cracks open...luminescent,
pale yellow like the yolk of an egg;
7.15 a.m. – not long to sunrise...
A gaggle of geese erupt from below
a crackle-glazed horizon, splicing
the silence, as tirelessly they speak
the language of those not burdened
by thought. Could be they’re bound
for that crèche of stars, fast-fading,
way up there. Morning peels back
under their wings; all November lies
beneath their leaving.

Words, and images of the gaggle of geese.
splicing the silence,as tirelessly
they speak the language of those burdened by thought.

Busy re-vising words consonants,what got take to-morrow all singing,make one voice in choir,could be 900 come.
Hi! Tina,thank you so much for your kind words.
Course deeper all than said. Pray shame house,had to go, exchange taken over,good further away,but as had be,bungalow of what they could afford owing to health both of them,got further be done up! so she is going friends,cos she has animals,etc 3 three weeks. All things got be done! So think got help get it fixed.
We do not have a house. but it work out! hope. And dog is very big! that is problem, for me. All there central heating,will be done. Only one can work now.
So haven't much time think poems.
Got a lovely thank you from The South Coast Ambulance Service,bit back and two dealt with me,been commended,by their chief executive,added now,on poem,
"Forever Faithful" Thanks and all and "Jazz" sent them copy! and leaflet show coming up,really have to work hard,and concentrate,clear my head,breathing hit
notes,if hear page given in folders,like 57 it's 67
difficult,look quick,someones,catching pay for course. Four church hall venues all can go join in choir. One lesson clashes, London and only five days different, but may be Ray take me,after lesson could be rush,miss all good. I bet you have had load of rain! take care. make nature and beauty and words,that you write superb to read. Always love "Fireworks In The Snow" your's brilliant. Rays got check ups,and appointments,and me hearing still,3 months. Feel like not bothering,don't want anything go wrong do I before show. Yes got dress code all of us. Could be 100 choir,not my voice ugh! all together
taught,make one voice,don't sing,listen bit sounds good. They should be coming christmas day,all hope be done,but it;s big dog she has now,am frightened of,silly so only be so many hours get back. Not had long. feel so guilty. Course when daughter worked,money from job given etc 6 went,sign of the times years been there,pays for bungalow future!
Ah! well deserved cherries, I have block for a while,all that's going on. Good job don't have learn song words,if don't know songs,how where taught,line by line. Different scales all do,some are harmonies,quite hard sound great. How hang onto words
who can go up or down in notes do. Computers gone strange.

Hi Tina,
what a wonderful scene to behold when you pulled
the curtains across.
Also loved your poetic description of what you
were seeing.
Magic.
