Oh, geez - now every day when I sew or even when I just cut something, I'm going to think of this poem of yours and the accompanying picture. (Your assessment is one hundred percent on target!!)

Good use of simile in this poem. It's amazing how sharp the bite of both bird and tool can be, dangers very seldom expected. Good lesson poem, too, I enjoyed reading it.

Thank you for talking the time to read and evaluate.
Comment from Liz O'Neill
I like you switching of metaphors. This makes the whole poem a metaphor. This has a sense of the literary technique called the stream of consciousness. I like the racing imagery you have created. It is very interesting how you take the reader from a poignant moment to an outside moment where nature contemplates its next meal. Well written.

Dear Anonymous Poet,
Thank you for sharing your entry in the Six-Line poetry contest. I have a pair of sewing scissors like you describe in the poem. My son was always fascinated by them when he was little. He would tell me all about the poor bird cast in gold for me to cut my threads.
Good luck to you,
~Mustang Patty~

Hi,
Great analogy -- scissors and the Egret's beak.
This is very well written and a great contest entry.
I cannot find a single word here that I might suggest you rework / revise to improve upon your poem.
Thank you so much for sharing and good luck in the contest.
