A Goose
A goose alone on a frozen river,
standing with his neck extended
to full length. He is tall,
unmoving, staring straight ahead,
across the ice.
A nearby magpie takes notice,
tilts its head to one side,
“where are the others?”
The goose clicks his beak,
adjusts his stance, continues
looking on. The setting sun,
now reflected in his right eye,
illuminates the icy ground
on which he stands –
waiting.

Right, this is my unrelated introduction so you'll
just have to let me ramble for a bit.
1) Your art is amazing, breath-taking work.
2) I love Harry Potter as well.
3) Congratulations on your engagement!
4) Your dog sounds wonderful :)
Now, back on track.
I love the feeling of magic in this poem,
it's one of the ones which leave you with
continuing thoughts and questions.
Sticking in my mind for longer.
Very well written,
Scribbler.

Thank you for your honest comments. I am glad the poem was able to feel magical for you and if it is sticking in your mind - great! If you have any questions about the poem, feel free to ask. I only wrote it yesterday while on the bus actually.

Lovely, in an austere way. I mean that, of course, as a compliment (forgive my lack of social skills).
