Congratulations on the third place win in my contest, Elaine

This is a great poem Elaine. First off. the use of birds against the elements is a well used metaphor in this poem. The language is everyday that allows the poem to be appreciated as a poem and not an exercise. I like the lack of punctuation, it reminds me of Appollanaire's statement that the lines are already seperate therefore the reader knows where to pause. I'm a sticler for grammer but I can appreciate what you have done here.

I always am an awe of the tiniest birds who survive the winter through. Of course I am thinking this is all a metaphor, and well done at that. Amazing the human will. As is nature. Miracles abound. Beautiful write. Love, shar

Kristin's gonna love this! ...she's a wind freak. Those little birds will just not be thwarted! Best wishes, Keith

a wonderful lesson here, and one I live daily - excellent Elaine, love, Kristin :)

"Hello Beautiful & Gifted Elaine George!"~Such a depthful soulful write here dear lady! I love your sincereness of hope and statement within it I believe~that you too are as those creations birds~but even more precious are "You!"~for as "Christ" said, "How much more precious are 'You' than they!"~"Happy Holidays Dear, My Love Always, John,"~By Beautiful Lady!:)

Excellent images here! Those tiny little creatures up against a force of nature, yet still undaunted! ~ Great job!~ Carrie
