Journey Of The Return Poem by Richard Provencher
Journey Of The Return
scraggly bunches dip
and twirl, one direction
then another
an
organized confusion
wingtip advantage
riding each gust of wind,
gliding to ecstasy
on northern's flight, swoop
and turn again
V-ploughing
playing chase-the-leader, a
feathered flying wedge
geese families
three squadrons strong
heading for summer
wind-chopping along

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
V-flying formations of geese fascinate me. My first encounter with tens of thousands of them was in Moosonee, on James Bay when I worked with the Ontario Department of Welfare Services. I was the Caseworker for the whole territory from Moose River Crossing to Winisk on James Bay. And everywhere I went there were geese, especially on the Goose Reserve at Shipsand's Island.

Correction by Richard L. Provencher - - Winisk is on Hudson Bay, not James Bay.
