Such a feel of spring in this, so opposed to the feeling one get watching them leave, in the same formation, in late fall. Now if they would only stay away from the golf courses....! As always, gracefully and artfully done.<br />Steve K.Steve Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04818671944215117618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3884360193624478106.post-68510871183266973632014-03-31T00:59:10.498-04:002014-03-31T00:59:10.498-04:00Lovely poem!

The older one linked about geese flying "Southbound" that was written in Fall, yes, that one rhymes. But am not sure how you are seeing the rhymes in "Coming Home." Maybe a sort of "slant rhyme between "home" and "along?" Maybe I'm too close to the writing, I don't see it. Please point out what I'm not seeing.
