Portrait of a Goose
Swimming
This portrait is
set in landscape,
a photograph of
a goose swimming.
The body is angled,
white chest down
and brown tail up.
The black neck
curves forward, but
the beak is level.
Beady eyes
focus frontward.
What demands such
concentration?
Friend or foe?
Frolic or function?
The answer is not
in the picture.
This poem was inspired by the Day 2 prompt of the 2018 PAD Challenge, portrait. It's not too late to join in. See the guidelines under Links. If you don't want to take the writing challenge, check in to see the diverse work that is inspired by the prompts.
