Poem–Where Do I Belong

Where Do I Belong

Following in tow,
but the very last                         
spaced far from the rest.                                     

Am I one with you,
or am I alone?              
Likely, I am both.

    Goslings are so cute and each have their own personalities. Happy Monday. Allan

      I never thought of goslings having personalities. Thank you for chiming in. Have a great day.

      Thank you, Dorothy. Sometimes the photos inspire me to write the poem, and other times, it’s the other way around. Have a good day.

    The little gosling is adorable and the poem about the lagging ball of fluff is delightful. 🙂

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      I had to add that photo of the little guy, Nancy. It was too cute not to share. I’m glad you liked it. Thank you for commenting.

    Short and sweet! Your voice and way of delivery are impressive.

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Aaah, thank you, Kaushal.

  16. Kym Gordon Moore

    It’s so interesting Mary that I see the goslings around here always have that “one” doing it’s own thing from the others. They seem to be fearless of the resident red-tail hawk that flies around here. 🦢🦢🦢 Lovely poem. 💖

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      That’s interesting, Kym. I am surprised the hawk doesn’t worry them. Thank you for commenting.

      1. Kym Gordon Moore

        I know Mary. It surprises me too. Maybe they’ve worked out some kind of truce I am unaware of! LOL 😜

        1. Mary K. Doyle

          If they can do it, why can’t we humans?

          1. Kym Gordon Moore

            There you go Mary! Isn’t that the truth? 😜💖😍

  17. Awakening Wonders

    Your written words and image work so very, very well together! ❤️

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Thank you, Mary. The photo whispered the poem to me.

  18. Cindy Georgakas

    awww sweet image and Love your poem so introspective, Mary💕

    1. Mary K. Doyle

      Thank you, Cindy. I hope all is well with you and your blossoming family.

      1. Cindy Georgakas

        It’s a pleasure.. all is wonderful with these cherubs.. thanks, Mar💕

        1. Mary K. Doyle

          When my grandkids were babies, I wanted to nuzzle and cuddle with them. They’re like a drug I was addicted to. As you know, Cindy, they grow quickly. I hope you can enjoy every moment.

          1. Cindy Georgakas

            I know, that is the best feeling right.. I’m sure they’re gonna get tired of all the lovin on them we do and push me away soon enough💓😉
