This is a brilliant poem with perfect rhyme scheme.

I second Dawn's sentiment.

Where I live, there's a pond with several geese. We saw one eating a fish but, couldn't take a picture, it happened too quick!

Thanks for posting to my group, Anythingwriting

Ruthi C. Sep 25, 2009, 12:55pm EDT

Yes, you'd have to have it in the camera's eye and snap to join the catch! Thank you Angela!

Cute, but my grandson would remind you that Canada geese are herbivores. They don't eat bass!

Ruthi C. Sep 25, 2009, 7:47pm EDT

John, I agree with you in that Canada Geese are herbivores. However, they certainly do sometimes eat fish, as well as insects. I've seen them do so frequently at the lakes here in my area. Though I may be wrong about whether it is bass or not:-)

I enJOY that also Cassandra! Living in a rural area, I see the geese fly often when driving the roadways. I have a bad habit of drivin' along & counting the geese formations when I see them, gonna cause an accident doin' that one day if I'm not careful!

Thank you Cassandra!
