A poem that becomes all too
Posted on Wed, 29 Dec 2021

I love how you've woven a story into this poem Turlough. The rhythm and rhyme are perfect too. It's a sad story and reminds me of the American native indians who had their land taken away. People with power and loads of money always seem to win...

Hi Penny,
Willow sure has a lot of magical powers, such a bright cat deserves to win. A bit of magic certainly goes a long way. Would have loved to have seen the expression on the uniformed man's face when he looked in the carrier to find...

Embracing the spirit of your poem, gave a sense of movement, these birds relocating constantly, just like the clouds. Your passion for this bird shines through in your words.
