Taking our guestson a stroll through the yard,
we found this nest of eggs
bathed in sunlight near the end of the boardwalk,
no mama goose in sight:
You can imagine our concern
at her departure.
Imagine, then, my delight --
looking out my bedroom window
later that evening --
on seeing that question mark of a gooseneck
poking out above the weeds,
where I knew the nest should be;
Know my joy on hearing her mate's honk,
and her answering response.
