The word deleted by Poetry Soup **** is "Tits" - Tits are birds. To the esteemed Poetry Soup Lead Censorship Whizz, this is taking censorship to the extreme. In my poem, this is the meaning of Tits/Birds. See below for illumination.

Tits = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tit_(bird)

Dictionary/tit. Dictionary result for tit noun plural noun: tits a small songbird that searches acrobatically for insects among foliage and branches. used in names of birds that are similar or related to the tits, e.g. penduline tit, New Zealand tit.

You will note that this poem is dedicated to the BIRDS (Australian Slang for Women) in my family - my daughter, my sisters, my mother.

"BIRDS"

Tits abreast the Wind chirping Freedom breathes air on wingspan high
ever gliding onto tomorrow’s unfurling blue oceans white horses pounding the shore Hawks and Albatrosses daughters and mothers … Mothers and Daughters

(Lovejoy-Burton/Jan 2018)
