I have been writing poetry since I was about eight years old – true, the first things I wrote didn’t rhyme in the least but I tried. Today, I thought I would share a riddle that I wrote when I was fifteen or sixteen. If you can guess the riddle, let me know – my sister never could guess it (and I never would just tell her the answer!).
Hello! Glad to see I have a visitor.
You wish to know who I am you say?
Well, I will give you clues
But will not completely give my name away.
I am a large bird
Of the Genus Branta I am a part.
I love marshes, lakes and rivers.
This should give you a good start.
If I should ask you to stay for dinner,
I might take you to a marsh.
For there I love the vegetation.
I eat there when predators are sparse.
My children are in that tree you see.
I hope the nest is difficult to be found.
There are five whitish eggs and two young ones
Reposing in a nest lined with down.
I live in North America.
Canada is my famous home.
I only live there in the summer
In winter, Mexico is where I roam.
Who Am I?
To the KING be all the glory!
I don’t know . . . . some kinda bird . . . . I don’t know! Maybe I should go find an ecyclopidia or something . . .
Feel free to enlighten me anytime….

Canadien geese??
You are correct! :)
Oops…Sorry…
That’s all right. I fixed it. :)
