Brande et Brant Geese Part One

Mogette et son Propriétaire...Yesterday and hier

Did go... to la mer, in mid-winter blue crystal air

Encore to summer house of Clemenceau


And there...With two degrés of température

And wind of Nord...She posed for a photo

For you, dear Mogettistes..Next to a hole, un trou

In garden fence cloture ...Which is made of matériaux

In France, we call BRANDE...


Not like en anglais BRAND, oh no, les amis et amies...Rien à voir

Nothing to see...


Not "Marque de manufacture" ...This cloture, she

...Mogette knows very well 

Is made of élément... cent-pour cent...Naturel.


We say in French "Bruyère"...Bicoz, for many francophone parleur

It is impossible to say

"Heather"...[EE-Z'HEURE?]


And so, the fence cloture of heather

Keeps out the winter windy weather

And peut-etre...Le regard oblique

Of visiteur every day of week

Who would like to say...He, or she, or they

Had had a clin d'oeil peek

Of dune garden... Inspired by Clemenceau's friend Monet...


And what, Mogette can hear you ask

Are BRANT GEESE?

Our little amie poète will...un-mask

The masquerade of these...Mystère mysteries

In next bad poésie...See you there!

(Apologies from Mogette, for missing accents circonflexes and others

...bicoz

Her clavier keyboard is défectu-oz)

  1. Nice one, Al. I could do with a few rolls of that here, to stop gaupers.
