across patchwork fields -
new shoots appear

  8. I had to look up "skein" to see what it meant when used with geese ~ I love learning a new meaning of a word, especially when I then get to see how beautifully you have paired its double meaning with "patchwork" in the next line ~ nicely done! xo Kari
