Hi Debra,
Isn't that something? A perfect diamond formed from those little babies! Nice family photo for the contest, and a fine haiku to match.
I especially enjoyed your alliteration in the second line,
"supervised synchronized swim". The two 3-syllable adjectives work very well together.
The photo reminds me of a synchronized swimming team. They all look alike, and of course so do these goslings. If they were wearing swim caps, it would be awesome. But I suppose they'd be hard to catch to put them on. And dangerous, too! Geese aren't afraid of anything.
Nicely penned! And good luck in the contest!
Hugs,
Kimbob

It's funny to watch ducks peacefully glide across the water and think about how furiously their feet are paddling beneath the surface. Another one of God's wonderful creations.

A beautiful photo of avian family. You have a good camera, maybe dad is swimming behind. I think you have a great entry for the contest and wish you well. Geese are funny, especially when the traffic stops to let them cross the road! Blessings, Kay xx

I'm so sorry. I changed my review. For some reason I read tanka, but it was 'take'
