Hello Olive Eloisa!! Like Paul, I'm unfamiliar with this poetic form, but will look it up. Your supporting picture with the lovely birds and Waltz Wave text are a powerful combination in both imagery and meaning. Very Well-Done!! A 7 + FAV for sure from me. Best Always, Gary

Broken Wings, Actually I had hard time making an entry here.... cutting words making each line a bit surprising and keeping the reader to be on it is hard... =) With all my poems, since I've know poetry is a written painting,,, I so want that I always present a good visual.. plus some sounds in it.. actually bringing you there.. +) if possible!
