even hooded the falcon knows where her falconer stands his breath soughs through time and eternity a delicate neck turns slowly feathered curious she has been well manned talons crave a glove to curl a hand to lift the leather finger rubs finger she listens glistening head cocked she flies wafting upward draft free he casts the lure head turns brownblack eye shines enchanted which? freedom or alexandrite eyes but she has been well manned |

There is great fascination within your poem, dear Kate. You write masterfully about this incredible connection between the falcon and the falconer. And there is more in it than what appears on the surface. You are one fine writer! Love, Margherita |

Lady Kate You touch on a subject that is dear to my heart, falcons and falconry, during the first half of my life I kept many species of raptors including a magnificent perigrine falcon female. A friend trained her and she became so responsive to what was needed that she featured on a wildlife program on television. It was a great thrill for the whole family to see our bird peform so well. A great hobby but very time consuming. Iloved your poem, write some more. Lindsay |

I find falcons facinating and your poem equally so. Ida |

"Well manned" indeed with love apparent gentlemanned, no doubt. Beautiful write, Milady. Metaphorically and allegorically brilliant. MoonShadow . |

She has been well manned, indeed. We are watching as nature turns inward, even here, in the prairie land. Buzzards hover over the small city skies; and a young hawk has taken to our smaller highland streets. Somehow it seems, the nature is dying out, and those that can fly, now fly inward so I feed the squirrels, knowing the raccoons will visit, along with the possum, and perhaps others... so that some life might circle on. We are strangling our wildlife, slowly, with our own corruption. Thank you for this, m'lady. |

A wonderful posting. I could always tell the birds that had been well-manned as they didn't need hooding, and there was somehow a more special bond between the duo. We had a Lanner when I was young, and only my grandfather, or I could get her to come to the lure. Can you tell I enjoyed this.  |
