Swans are in the eyes of beholders - I'm just teasing. Your poem is aptly aimed smartly towards those ungainly years of ugly fears. This is very clever, Line.

I can definitely relate (although, in all honesty, my "sudden swan" moment probably came 10-15 years later than that)! Another FAV! ;)

Thank you so much, Rhona. The lapse of time in the poem is flexible.
