gary,
lovely. i can almost see it ...
the only thing that bothered me was the stanza break after "wind", it
stopped me short, broke the rhythm for me.
i am sure you had a great time.

(Nearly a week, nearly modumless, on the Oregon coast watching surf, rain,
wind, gulls and rain. Not enough done otherwise.)
Driving by Geese
Five hundred wild geese
huddle beside a winter lake
where in spring, sheep return
to graze Yamill River valleys.
Rain squalls lash their feathers
as road spray from chip trucks
strikes our windshield and broken
wipers flutter in the wind
like down comforters plucked
to make matching pillows.
