Poem to Submit to IBID

Jack Reich
The Goose

On a cool, damp, cloudy
Day, the golden sun peaks
Out of the grey sky,
Spreading warmth along
The Earth’s surface,
Lighting the lifeless world.

Leaves swirl in the wind, as
Tree branches sway back and
Forth, and the soft, warm breeze
Blows ripples across the
Pond, as an acorn drops
Down from a tall oak tree.

A squirrel darts across the
Lawn, to grab the acorn,
And takes it back to his
Nest. And a bumble bee
Bounces from flower to
Flower, feeding on their nectar.

Birds chirp, while two students
Laugh as they peacefully
Walk to class. Small ducklings
Tail their mother across
The wet marsh by the pond,
While a frog hops around.

All until a goose let
Out a loud ugly honk,
Ruining the harmony
The sun delivered.
