Constanza Wonder

Migrating birds are on the fly. As cacophonus sounds are heard I long to hug each little bird. Their numbers darkening the sky, So many that I cannot count. None left behind is paramount. As I see how they multiply, I wonder how they find their way And their return again some day. I'm wondering the where and why. Is it the Great Creator's hand That holds the map they understand? So many miles before them lie, Reminding me of those who roam Without a thought of writing home. --------- Migrating birds are on the fly, Their numbers darkening the sky And as I see them multiply, I'm wondering the where and why So many miles before them lie.

Joyce, Congratulations on your placement in Andrea’s “Can you Constanza? Contest.” There were so many really amazing entries we had a very difficult time deciding. We had to go by who followed the form best, and whose poem was most creative. I spent 4 and half hours going over the poems and Andrea, a lot longer. Thank you so much for your wonderful entry Mahalo, Connie Your last two lines made me tear up.

Joyce, how cool that you wrote this. Did you remember my love for the little barn swallows that made nests above my garage this summer. By the way, they had MORE babies and then they just disappeared. I can't believe they would have migrated with birdlings still so young. Anyway, this poem was adorable. Congrats on your placement in my contest.

Nicely done Joyce!! This flows very well. This is a difficult form to write and have it not read as being forced to fit the form ... but you managed perfectly. Very creative. I am impressed! Good lluck in the contest. Joe
