Maybe two or three others on site write free verse of this quality. There is s diffetence between blank verse and free verse that escapes people here. Quatrains that don't rhyme border on prose and are poetry in name only. This is poetic free verse.

A lovely, well-crafted poem!
Nice visuals complement the stunning artwork;
"blue ripples":
"red flashes";
To be able to take flight in so colorful a fashion as your metaphoric journey of love soars as that of the feather's grace.
Excellent!
The soft purple font also captured my eye--very pretty!

I like the black and pink color scheme.Black like night and fear of being alone never feeling the flight of love and pick the color color of love.

I like the metaphor of the birds flight as love and the feather floating as the loss of the dream because if a bird loses its feathers it can no longer fly,

Keep writing

You really have what I was going for on the money. It's always great to hear that someone gets what your going for. Thank you kindly.

You're welcome. I am glad I got your points. Sometimes people use metaphors to mean something totally different than what I read into them.

This is beautiful, both in content and in form.
You captured the idea of love, used feathers and flight to emphasize it, and ended with a beautiful image of human love taking flight.
Excellent.

Great pic, great shape to the write. Evocative imagery and a positive resolution. Strong use of alliteration. 'plumet', unless it is an intentional play on'plume', should read 'plummet' Cheers - DJ
