Truly, we are finding out new technologies and GPS systems now but these geese have been doing it every year. We can learn beautiful and informative things by closely watching the nature. Very Good Poem. Keep It Up.

I like that these natural perfections give us a handle to link creation to God's perfect design. You've done thsi with a beautiful image, a well known rhythm from nature, and a lovely 5-7-5 styled poem. The parise og God in teh satori line seems pretty perfect to me.
Good luck with this.

Great Satori: God's perfect System. Amazing photo perfect for your grand message. The first and second lines in consistency with the conclusion of this beautiful poem. An excellent entry to the contest.

I remember sitting in the evening and counting the time I would hear the geese and ducks fly overhead to their nightly haunt. Now it is so early as winter approaches. Lovely picture and well chosen words to convey your message. Good luck in the contest. Faye

A lovely 5-7-5 for this contest. Romantic images in lines 1 and 2 are followed by that clever GPS line to punch home the admiration for the natural instincts of these and other creatures.

Good luck in the contest.

This is a very true and straight to the point poem that the author has created with this piece of work. All of God's creations are wonderful and nature can be absolutely amazing.

I am always in awe when it comes to the nature's animals. It is such a wonderful thing to see how they have the instinct to survive. How they come together for the greater-good and survival of their species. We, humans, can learn much for mother nature. Best of luck in the contest.

Hi Carolyn

This is a beautiful wring , although short, seems to bring forth the faith with which it was written. Gods perfect system....absolutely beautiful phrase. The geese almost never leave those systems. And i think we ought also as human keep this system.
Well done.

    We all look to our navigation systems in our cars. GPS.. I just thought of Gods perfect system, which beats any technology. I am happy you enjoyed this one Benny.

I liked your notes about the GPS system and wish you could work that as the last line, but God's GPS system has one too many syllables. Good use of consonance with across and geese. rhyme with fly and sky, alliteration with formation fly.

    Had I not decided to enter this contest and shorten another poem I had going, those words would have been there. Great insight Shari. Thank you so much. :-) Carolyn
