I guess we'll never really know whether creatures of the earth grieve for a lost mate, or rather, in what form is it manifest, even injury brings no negative reaction from them, they just get on with life. Beautifully written Gypsy, blessings Roy

This is a melancholy verse laced with love and loss.
Your phraseology is excellent!
The sensory details that were woven together especially;
" sizzling amber waves"
and " draped with raging cries," are noteworthy.
You have penned a provocation piece that will stay with me awhile as the message lingers, like a first kiss.
I appreciate the beautiful presentation and detailed author notes.

Very sad words. Birds often mate for life which makes these words even sadder.
Brilliant use of repetition as if we are hearing the mournful cries of the bird.
Beautifully presented and written.
Best wishes
Mary

I like your poem - interesting format - good presentation - picture very nice - poem paints a single theme of the a little bird loss and elaborates in detail of his perceived corresponding emotions -lost love, pain in his heart, raging cries, loneliness - very descriptive good job.

There is much loneliness in these words as birds often mate for life and when they lose their partner they are left on their own, a deep meaningful write, love Dolly x

You really used the repetition in a moving way and it mimics the bird song which repeats the same notes over and over. Many bird couples mate for life and it's really sad when one loses the other. You captured that well here.

    Hello, Helen,

    Yes, poor little bird. I know how it feels to be alone without a partner.

    Thank you very much for your time and kind review.

Hi Gypsy, your poem is beautifully penned and yet so very sad.
The thought of a lone bird on a burned bough singing his song
to empty air is heartbreaking. I can hear the yearning in his
whistle call. Your poem reads and flows well and has vivid imagery
within. Of special note:

admist cinders of lost love
(G, whether it's a bird or a person lost love burns)

Well chosen photo. Beautiful presention. A pleasure to read.
Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

Very nice poem, Gypsy. I like the repetitive refrains that run throughout the poem and seem to stream down the page. Nice imagery throughout. Well done. Hope everything is well with you.

What a sad poem, Gypsy. It grabs your heart and won't let go. Love and loyalty can be so sad when observed in the animal kingdom, where it likes much deeper than thought, but in their very instincts for survival. Very sad! Good luck with your entry.
