    I do like this one..I enjoy seeing Swans but they are on TV..I am wondering though about the exact interpertation of this one..Thanks for the long look at my work "Miles And Miles"..You got quite an insight into my work..I was writing from the danger perspective in that deer are held back by the fencing which prevents their coming onto the interstate..Also, that could save many humans as well..Thanks for going the extra mile..Sara

    I'm glad you liked it Sarah. You can read Cyndi's poem and poem info to help you interpret this one. Always a pleasure reading your poems. So now I've gone miles and miles and extra miles :)

    Whoa! Now here's a write that arouses in me conflicting emotions - I like the idea of the swan being free but I do not fancy a silent pond... Well written Ralph!

    Swans mate for life. Thank you for your kind comments dear Vicky.
