in the old man’s den
a painting of a white goose
forced to eat cracked corn
 
~~ ~~ ~~
 
September morning
goose avoids the fox’s den—
one more day to live
 
~~ ~~ ~~
 
in the goose’s dream
a den of thieving ganders
divvying the spoils

      It sounds as though you’re familiar with Mother Goose:

      Goosey goosey gander, Whither shall I wander? Upstairs and downstairs And in my lady’s chamber. There I met an old man Who wouldn’t say his prayers, So I took him by his left leg And threw him down the stairs

    I thoroughly enjoyed all three. The last one made me smile – the image of a den of thieving ganders divvying (what a great word) the spoils, was wonderful.

    That is an interesting set. I liked the last one particularly.

    Nice…MMT! The last one made me rethink of quirky playfulness that I still associate with the best adventure playgrounds…:D

    Second one made me smile. One more day to live…maybe long enough to spread its wings.
