Bridges fascinate me and how far they can span.

Nicely written free verse. You could add more descriptive imagery - show us instead of telling us.

Good morning estory.

I really like this piece also. It is said so poetically free verse and it connects us to ides about the bridge, in the first. It bridges all the ideas about the many variations of bridges and yes, I like the way you finished it with the builders watching us cross the bridges that they built. It gives a full picture (plenty of imagery) and idea to the total piece. Your Arthur notes were also excellent as usual. Thank you for sharing this.

Thanks for the excellent review and all the wonderful comments supporting the poem. Someone else said there wasn't enough imagery, so I thought it interesting that you liked the imagery. You can't make everyone happy, I guess estory

The free verse in this poem flows well, with intelligent and effective line breaks and use of lines of different lengths. You link the idea of physical bridges to that of metaphorical brides nicely towards the end. Your unabridged dictionary made me smile! What a wonderful bridge that is between language and the writer. I particularly liked the way you contrasted the view of the suspension bridge cables in morning and evening light - a bridge between night and day or between work and leisure.

connections seems to be the main theme, connecting us with this or that, a bridge to here a bridge to there, sometimes to nowhere, but a connection, and a bridge all the same.
All the first words are capitalized but one, 'and' but an easy fix, you'll see it.

Ah, yes, wonderful. I like the bridging of the generation gap, and the bridging of cultures, religious differences. This is so original! Awesome, blessings...

Hi estory. I like this one and if I could offer anything after going there with you on all those bridges, it would be that final line where you say:

"Silently watching us ..." Well I believe that watching is not a strong enough word when [watch] would imply a deeper thrust, more personal even of the builders watching what is going on. A small thing perhaps, but just another view of the same thing from this reader. Great stuff once again. xoxo Kiwi
