What a stunning image to picture in one’s mind – the geese hiding the stars in their wings. Wowzers!
Love the image of geese hiding stars. Beautiful
hiding the stars in their wings
ten thousand migrating geese
stunning how you just took my breath away.
I like to do that, you know? 😉
the magic of ten thousand and star hiding geese. Just lovely, MMT.
Beautiful second stanza mmt … makes the Tan Renga even nicer in it’s scenery.
About ten of them
flew over here yesterday.
Honk HONK HoNK honking.
Only 10? Not 10,000? 😉
I like that hiding the stars in their wings. ..
I love when you do that! 🙂 Thank you!
Why, you’re welcome! 😉
Wow! That is all 🙂
summer dress
love the earthy colours ‘below’ your verse of geese wings
much love
yes ..countless like the stars……it would be spectacular if the scene could be seen at night… grand lines…
You couldn’t see it at night, because the geese are hiding the stars in their wings! 😉 Thanks so much for your visit!
I’ll never think of geese the same, again. That was very beautiful. I love the picture you painted with words.
I still get pleasure from seeing geese or ducks flying in their v-formation! Is this photo yours? I love the textures found in it.
Oh, absolutely the photo is mine. I post only my own, and I’m glad you find it pleasing to look at!
Brilliant imagery MMT!
I’m glad—and grateful—for your enthusiasm! 😉
😀
heartwarming completion, thanks
Wow! They could sail away with the whole night sky. This is stunning.
I never thought of it that way, but you’re right, of course. Sneaky geese! 😉
That’s what can happen when you run out of bread….it’s best to give them what they want.
No bread to gobble, so they gobble up the stars? Ha!
Starlight a geese goes so well together.
