Sorry, I don't have a six left. But I can certainly see why this won the uplifting poetry prize. It really soothed and then lifted the spirits exactly what the contest sought. Well done.

This poem is beautiful, great imagery of the floating feather, and really gives a feeling of hope.
Also natural feeling rhymes and nice smooth rythm

Feathers do mean much when it comes to sentimental values. Have you ever seen the movie, Where the Crawdads Sing? It has feathers in the movie and they are very meaningful. Like your poem.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
This sweet verse certainly soothes and lifts the soul. The theme is light and breezy. I particularly like: A feather that rides on the wind/is free from tethered strife. Your verse has a pleasing and meditative flow and fulfils the prompt of the contest. Well done and good luck! Debbie

Comment from Rebecca Koussa
Love this. I enjoy this type of poetry, I can read it so much faster. It is simple yet effective. The last paragraph needs a proofread again, drift missing the I. Is it your or you're? Winds or wings? Punctuation is used and then not used throughout so a quick update would be good too. Overall a very sweet poem.

Hi Rebecca, Thank you for spotting my errors. I posted this at the library and was trying to get it on before I ran out of time. I didn't see the errors. You were right! I missed the "i" in drift and meant to say "you're instead of "your". I fixed the errors even taking out the punctuation. Punctuation is one area I have a flaw in. In my case it might be better not to have it. .......Thank you so much for the lovely review! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Comment from Bryce 1
Really good. This poem sways much like the feather that was so easily imagined in mind. The words coo me to sleep almost. It is such a poem that I felt the softness from which it resided in my mind.

I love how your poem captures the idea of finding comfort in the simplest of things. I love the idea you share here of feathers riding on the wind. It brings a sense of freedom and tranquility. The message of hope and renewal shines through your words. Well done!
