lovely descriptive detail with good sensory appeal
to senses other than just the visual
I like the fantasy element of the mermaids
Excellent personification of the ancient yew tree
and other creatures in nature
Good use of rhyme
and a thoughtful message :-) Brooke

Comment from rhymelord
Dear Sandra,
Great metre and rhyme, which characterises all your work and a presentation of subject that puts one in touch with nature. The proximate rhymes are well used to jog the reader into the poem. Very enjoyable writing. The only (slightly) jarring note is the repetition of "then" in the last stanza, line 3.
Best regards
Reg

Thank you so much for your lovely words, Reg! I know what you mean about the 'then' repitition in that line, I have just looked at it. I will take some time to work on that line to get it right. Thank you for pointing it out, it does need work. Thank you again, Reg, I really appreciate it. xsx

Dear Sandra,
Just a thought:
To swoop with grace and then embrace
I think it is grammatical. I hope so.

Comment from Hollyhock
Beautiful imagery, I loved the metaphor in "Upon the sway of dancing waves"
I did wonder if "To grace A heavenly choir." might read better?
The second stanza gives the impression of such colour in Nature's bounty. The use of "strewn" suggests a freedom and almost an excess of flowers, such is the generosity of the natural world.
The eagle in the last stanza links everything together and the personification gives the opportunity to "voice" the message of the poem.
A lovely read.

Comment from june bug
Just remarkable poetry. I truly loved this. Your reference to first the birds, then to the ocean, then to the land was just fantastic. But the ending was simply beautiful with the birds speaking out to man. Extremely touching poetic art. Your photo choice was perfect for the piece as well. I would put this into a chapbook of poems. All the best to you.

Comment from hellion5
Fantastic imagery and I love the ending! Couldn't find anything to complain about--although, there seems to be a spacing problem in the last stanza. That didn't take anything away from the writing.
Shimmer as they fall--great image!
This is wonderful--

Thank you so much, Sue! I will look at that spacing, and I do prefer it when something that doesn't feel right, is picked so that I can put it right! Your review is so lovely, Sue, and thank you so much for giving me that 6!!!! xsx

If only we could see the earth as the eagle does, enjoying the beauty that nature bestows. Your descriptions are beautiful. This is very well written poem.

Comment from Margaret Snowdon
If only - there's so much
to see and enjoy.
I loved this poem, a light-hearted,
joyous piece - the words flowing perfectly
and with such good imagery.
I always enjoy reading about nature.
All in all, most impressive and deserving of a six.
