My Christmas Goose The Lap of Luxury BY PHILIP ROBERTSON BY JEANIE ROBERTSON
A deep, dark night 1st law Light getting good Closer, closer, closer What is the LAP OF LUXURY? Alone “Be prepared” Stay hidden Splash down! I’ll tell you what it means to me: An icy wind Get equipment ready Dark clothes One, then another! Sloshing thru frigid water Keep it dark Dark gloves And another! It’s rising with the morning sun Mud and Tules Quiet Face mask Be calm To work, then play till day is done. It’s food that’s plenty when I eat, Is this the way? Organize Peer thru the netting A beauty in close And sturdy shoes to grace my feet. Flashlight fl ickering Coffee on shelf Move slowly Long graceful neck Don’t go out! Pee can in far corner Quiet Careful preening It’s clothing I have on my back, Searching for markers Waders hang on a nail Where are they? Joyful sounds (Tho purchased from a Sale rack.) Darkness everywhere Position the seat Will they come? Sparkle in her eye It’s shelter on a rainy night Inside a home that’s warm and bright. Mud clinging to waders Hunger pains Faint sounds! Perfect moment Plants tugging at legs Grab the thermos Getting louder Steady, steady It’s arms around me when I’m scared Deep water Hot, black coffee They’re coming! Finger on the trigger And quiet times that we have shared. Am I lost? A sweet cinnamon roll From the rice fi elds Hold breath I do not need broad signs of wealth. Which way to go? Relax Hundreds, No, thousands! Let out slowly For most of all, I value health.
Footing uneven Faint light on the horizon Clouds of brilliant wings NOW! And BEST of all is love I share Don’t fall Stirrings near the blind Filling the dark blue sky SHOOT! With friends and family everywhere. Legs ache Birds awakening Shifting waves of pure white AGAIN! And so to me the LUXURIES Pack heavy Check equipment Speckled with black wing tips AGAIN! Mean being blessed with all of these. Shoulders ache All is ready Beautiful! GOT HER!
Refl ection in the tules Warm morning light Now they’re close With my Canon The lost marker! Slowly sweeping the water A wondrous sound Digital camera OK! Thru the reeds Avian euphoria The perfect photo This IS the way. Enveloping my blind Pure exuberance Of my beautiful Thank goodness! Enveloping me Shivers down my spine CHRISTMAS GOOSE!
Dark shape ahead Teal, Mallards, Gadwall Here they come What is it? Flying in tight groups Wings set to the wind The blind! No geese Right at me Finally More coffee Light is perfect I’m here! Keep alert Be calm
Open door We welcome your submissions Peek inside No animals such as humorous No owls observations and poetry. No spiders
Step inside Please see page 3 for Out of the wind submissions information. Out of the cold Down with the pack Off with the waders
