A Regal Vision Poem by Ernestine Northover

A Regal Vision

Rating: 4.9


At the sound of the beat of wings,
The sky with power was filled.
Geese on their long journey southwards,
In ‘V’ formation drilled.

A sight, as their amazing cries,
Floated across the blue.
Each bird knowing its position,
As the great flock onwards flew.

All such fascinating creatures,
Special, every one.
What a regal vision they offer,
Flying towards the sun.
