Notes About The Poem

On Pinions They Rose To Great Height

I heard them call before dawn's light
Avian flocks filling the sky
Time for annual migration

On pinions they rose to great height
For a shift in weather was nigh
Keeping their V-shaped formation

Observing them was a delight
How swiftly they took wing to fly
Towards a warmer location

Nature gave them the keen foresight
A journey they dare not belie
For months of Winter's duration

Innate sense of seasonal change    
'cross miles of geographic range

An ethereal opening to this one Lin, then that innate sense to migrate sets in, I get that same feeling each winter to head towards Hawaii, unfortunately I must brave it out for now, great one for the contest, beautifully written, cheers David

Unless it's Maui, stay put. My winter's are mild enough not to want to head anywhere. Thank you for such accolades you bestow on these lines, David. I've not been perusing contests, but this one is interesting.
