Strange mood, I am in while playing catch up. Michelle’s Monday Mural prompt was an interesting picture of what I presumed were geese in flight, having rarely seen them. Check out the picture prompt and read what others saw in the picture at Poefusion. I took license with the title - and words.
Gandered GooseDeceptive,
your graceful flight.Such seduction belies
the strength of a
beak that clamps shut
on he who could not
outrun wings flapping insanely
in the thrill of the chase.I watch you now with wary eyes,
but stay not your course
for one deception warrants anotherin my book.

Oh, deception can lead to such naughty places. I really like this. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice night.
Hi Marcia! I really like this! And I like the tone you set from the very first line, with “deceptive/ your graceful flight.”
The great thing about the Monday Mural is that we all see it so differently. Where you saw geese, I saw swans and an old hag.
geese can be amazingly aggressive can’t they??? and i totally agree with you to see one in flight is pure grace… but it is kind of people… a lot of us look real nice till we open our mouths!!!!
Missing you Marcia.

I like the metaphor of geese and deception. Graceful flight, but look out for the beak!
