Paul Callus Poet ABC

Notes About The Poem

Wind Beneath Their Wings

Exuberance of agile seagulls
Flying with utmost ease and grace
Gliding to the tune of autumn’s wind...
Here, standing on the edge of the cliff
I look with envy, bemoaning my limitations.

Susan Ashley December 6, 2017 at 7:54 PM Paul, first of all, I love your title. Secondly, my heart soared with exuberance when I read your graceful lines that glided with ease from the page and into my imagination... and I totally felt the words of your last line in my mind, body and soul. An eloquent, exquisite and stirring write, well deserved of a first place win. Congratulations my friend. ~Susan Paul Callus December 7, 2017 at 10:09 AM Hi Susan....the fact that your heart soared with exuberance is already a big satisfaction for me!

Maria Williams October 6, 2017 at 4:51 AM Oh to have the wings of a bird and glide on the air currents. Well that's not possible, so I guess I settle for the metal winged variety - so boring. I'm too scared to hand glide from the cliff tops :( Not familiar with this form, but you have mastered it brilliantly as always Paul...Maria Paul Callus October 6, 2017 at 12:38 PM Many thanks for a pleasant visit, Maria. May I tempt you to try this short form which I am sure you could tackle with ease:) Warm regards // paul
