Poems with the tag ‘barnyard’

Ready to be called?

I am a barnyard goose,
up and down a car crammed roads, running
as the flock flies overhead on a mission.
Honking, honking, and honking,
where do I go?
a bug in headlights, banging my head on synthetic plastic for
“It’s the sun!”
Impatient as a client on the curb awaiting their sedan’s solution.
Do I need to be ready for my call to be called?
