What I hear in the poem is the geese and I feel the soft feeling of the breeze.

When it talks about death, you leave right. But don't geese come back in the summer?

I think that the frost and the snow is what told them it's time the go.It tells them it's time to go because animals have instincts.

The setting is fall. I know the setting is fall because at the end of the poem it says summer sun was on their wings, winter in their cry.

Does the author write this because she lost someone important to her?

I think maybe she broke up with someone and she wrote a poem about her moving on.

I think that the author might be lizzi because in the passage it says "Winter in there cry.''

Her instincts were telling her it was time to go i Know that because her breast stiffened and Something told her snow her mind was telling her snow and that evidence supports my opinion.

It's about a bird because birds migrate for winter and they can sense it.

When you are heading to death in the story it almost seemed that everything else around you is dead.

In the poem I realized that there was a kind of secret code because when it says "It was time to fly." I noticed the word fly mixed up is lyf.

But Justin other animals migrate too so I agree with Ben. Why did she choose geese as her animal?

Do specific birds(geese)have different kinds of personalities,did the author choose the geese because they have a special personality.
