  1. i saw what richard is saying, however, i asked myself, “where’s the haiku”

    already freezing-
    across the lake one goose
    honks once

    i was rather perplexed, this piece says much, albeit, in the same breath, it says little.

    i imagine it (could) be winter

    thinking quickly, i tried this on for size:

    already freezing-
    goose honks once
    across the lake

    on closing; lately, when i see the word “goose”, i see the humor.
