A LONG LINE poem
by Richard L. Provencher A Long Line of geese stampede through November clouds, arising from an early Alberta morning their V-formations a Royal wedding scudding south, leaving memories of green pastures, salient lakes and a wilderness of plenty. An ancient path leads across borders, states and hidden sloughs where a fury of sound awaits, hunters in suits of deceit planning new rules of engagement. Within the confusion, tired wings flee rest, losing leaders in quick succession and soon, too many vagabond warriors lay face to face in stillness. And somewhere beyond the voice of shotgun thunder, goblets of exclamation begin toasting someone's misplaced manhood. Richard L. Provencher 2005 first published March 2008 Creekwalker Carlsbad CA Richard enjoys writing poems; many of which have been published in Print and Online.
