POEM STARTER

Write a poem about geese flying south for the winter.

Could their migration be a metaphor for something?

Flying V

The Flying V is so sweet to see

The geese flying south for the winter.

It’s their honking and flocking

That remind us get ready for winter.


Yes they foresee the weather to be

Their migration signals the cold

It will be wintery as soon as can be

This is not the time to be bold.


So bundle up tight on each winter night

Gather covers up to your head

During the long night when there’s no light

You may as well stay in your bed.


Or if you decide that you should just ride

South with the traveling birds

You can winter there without any care

You can be one of those snowbirds.


So if that is you migrating south too

Traveling with all those snowbirds

Then the Flying V is so sweet to see

But your flocks to me look like herds.
