Imitate Nature,
the guru said,
observe and learn.
Geese, I notice,
are loud, messy,
and communal.
Move slowly
without shame,
protest likewise.
Not sure I aspire
to goose-like behavior,
but balance would be good.
(For Granny Shot It’s Bird of the Day.)
Good one.

The Canada Geese are quite loud, that’s for sure.
And they will nip you sharply if you bother them or get in their way.
So that is why, like you, I don’t think everything in nature should be closely imitated.
In Virginia, back in the winter of 2013–The ‘honking attitude’ of the Canada Geese prompted me to write about them too! https://storieswithnobooks.com/2013/01/07/honking-attitude/

Love your poem and pics. Some of our geese stay all year nowadays – there is no end to them, lol.

Wonderful to read the humorous side of generally applying words of wisdom without discernment. Love the photo. ❤

Me too, Carol Anne. In fact I already qualify for the slow-moving and the messy part! Still working on the balance. 🙂
