Angela Poetry Contest #2 – First Place

Do Geese See God

by Deborah H. Doolittle

as a giant, transparent gander
or loose and luminous as the moon
 
hanging in the clear blue sky of day
or clouds towering above the arc 
 
of earth that they constantly traverse?
Do they hear the word telling them when,
 
spoken softly like one of the ten 
commandments, vibrating like thunder
 
or the flapping of humongous wings,
the simple call to migrate again
 
and again, quivering, bellowing
that barbaric universal honk?
