Losing can become a bad habit. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very interesting read. There is good imagery.

I DO NOT COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT OR WHAT THE GIANTS ARE DOING BUT I LOVE IT. IT REMINDS OF FRIENDLY COMPETITION AND WHY I LOVE THIS SITE SO MUCH WHEN IM NOT IN A CYNICAL FIT OVER MY OWN LACK OF TALENT

    thanks so much, Angela - the rival Philadelphia Eagles slaughtered the NY Giants in last night's pro football game. :-) Brooke

This was a nice Ode to Lee. Not sure what it was all about but loved the rhyming as always. And loved the picture of, I think, ans eagle.

Laughing at this tongue and cheek gloat you've got going here. I'm sensing a football rivalry, sigh. I gather the Eagles clobbered the Giants. I was cured of that bug long ago and have lost all interest in the NFL (Not For Ladies League)for the most part. I'm still a fan of any team that beats the Cowboys though.

Fun poem, one can hear the gloating as it is read aloud. But, I wonder what you will post when your beloved Eagles are shot from the sky? It's bound to happen, and what if it happens in the big game? I'll be looking forward to that one too, should it be necessary... Rah Rah Eagles. Truth be told I don't like the Giants either....

I enjoyed reading this poem. enjoyed reading the author notes even more. I suspect this was a poem written after a challenge.I liked the last stanza best!

I take it the Eagles soared over the Giants today. I used to keep up with the games but that was many years ago. Now I'd rather listen to some good music..
Well done, Buck

    Yep, you're right, Buck - I can't blame Lee for backing his home team just like I back mine, but he was doing some serious trash talking earlier tonight. LOL We had a bet on the game. This is all in fun :-) Brooke

I'm honestly not sure I understand this poem. Maybe it's a private joke.
But the flow is good and nice rhymes.
Feels like saying that those that soar high above everyone else don't need to care about those down below. But I'm pretty sure that not your point, unless sarcastically?

    Melspoems, yes, it is a private joke about a bet Lee and I had on the Eagles/Giants pro football game that just ended in a humiliating defeat for his team :-) That's why I only paid out 27 cents. LOL :-) Brooke
