 Gray wings, featherless Fanned out against a bleak sky Molted; pinionless. [This message has been edited by ice (02-03-2012 09:31 AM).] |

Ford, I was about to tell you that I couldn't view the picture - I thought it may just be me, but I see JL also can't see it. Although I can't see the graphic image of the trees, the verbal image is breath-stoppingly exquisite. I kept re-reading it in its shades of silent, silver-grays reaching up into an embracing gray sky, because I didn't want my mind visuals to stop. I will come back (probably much) later once you have fixed the picture to see it, and to gaze at your trees several times more. Trees depicted as birds - what could be more down my alley - or rather, up into my sky! This is minimalist poetry at its pinnacle. Owl |

Haha! Pinionless works for me, Ice . . . ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Ford, your first choice of picture must have been SOME picture, because this one is feather-soft beautiful and seems to have been taken specifically to compliment your poetic gem! Owl |

I've thought of many things when viewing leafless branches, but never barb-less feathers. I envy you that thought. Very, very well done! And photo fits perfectly. j. |

Hello, lovely... How did I miss this? There is such a simple beauty in a landscape of leafless trees; in the hush of winter. This is perfectly suited for a haiku, Ford. Beautiful...I miss the winters. |

My goodness (as if I had any) These replies are very important to me, each alone, and as a group. Thank you all, very much. I have a hard time with this form, and it takes me way longer to write than rhyme, or other types of verse. That's why replies like these are so wonderful...:-) |
