I love how you took Carol's picture and poem, and made a whole new story. I love the "argument" between the two swans, and him heading off for "wet-soaked plants" and "tiny tadpoles," then she, "the maiden in the Monet painting." I will think of this the next time I see swans at City Park or Wash Park!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294455230627182656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-24732696009864612472016-04-03T08:24:42.475-06:002016-04-03T08:24:42.475-06:00I wonder why there is just one?

The arrangement of words helped me to glide across the lines much as the geese glide across the water. <br /><br />I enjoyed the glide along this line achieved through alliteration:<br />"daintily dipping her beak for tiny bites"<br /><br />and the power of the ending:<br />"a maiden in a Monet painting." <br /><br />Just beautiful,<br />CathyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-48482205575824379672016-04-03T07:22:13.042-06:002016-04-03T07:22:13.042-06:00These swans have their own personalities.
