Very well done. The rhyme scheme, structure, and imagery evoke a pleasant bucolic sense of serenity. I also love the message.

The poet reminds the public awareness of loosing our wetlands and with it our wild geese as well. Very well done. Thank you for sharing this important message.

I enjoyed your 8-6 format of rhymed couplets and your reflections about preserving wildlife habitats. Your photograph of bright Mallard pair in their natural environment reinforced your message perfectly. Cheers- Joan

Brilliant bit of photography here, Tom, lovely picture of the Malards swimming there. Your poem is, as usual, up to your high standard and I was pleased to note you have put a word in for preserving these natural wildlife habitats. It is so important that our grandchildren and their children get to see these lovely sights. Excellent! :) Sandra.

Your poem depicts the animals with beauty. But then you add a lesson for all of us in these lines:
"For birds and beasts must have a home,
Open space to live and roam.
Our generation must preserve
Its parks and vast reserves."
Well done, Tom.

Will you kindly write something I can find fault with! Everything you do is different and superlative. If ever I come to the US I would like you to be my guide. I reckon you just have to know all the best places with all the history. Thanks again for another winner.

I enjoyed the poem so much for the structured stanzas that not being able to follow its style had no affect on the pleasure the poem gave me , so I give it all I have in stars today.

Hi Treischel. I thought was a wonderful poem, but it has the added bonus of a plea to preserve our world for future generations. Love it, alf
