Doug,
Storms have a cycle just like life. The are born, grow stronger and die. We need to do the most with our lives before the cycle ends.
The artwork matches well. It seems to roil around in itself
Keep rwiting

Certainly a thought provoking observation you've offered in these troubled days. While I am not able to understand your premise that life is an illusion (from corona to taxes, it is all too real to me), I respect your ability to not take it too seriously.

Interesting. I enjoyed your descriptions and clever vocabulary; well versed and penned. It's intelligent and thought provoking. A great read, and presented well. Some colour might be needed to adjust the font size, etc., but a lot of thought and work has been put into each line. It flows well. A pleasure to read and decipher. Best,

I had to smile at your last stanza, I couldn't help but agree with you. We live while alive. We need to be able to live to achieve that, many seem to sit around waiting to die. I don't have the time to do that. I really enjoyed your poem. Well done! :)) Sandra xx

Hello Victortouche,
Nice piece of poetry having impressive wording, captivating flow and marvelous end:

an illusion

while alive."

We can always rely on you to provide a cryptic piece that may be interpreted in various ways.

I'm afraid even the provided clues are not really enough for me here to fathom the straining tether and the windblown feather...

It's ok, Steve. Was cryptic, and...I changed pace for the last stanza. Doug

I enjoyed the flow of your thoughts very much, also the use of the feather motif resonated with me, it has been said that if you see or find a feather after you've lost a loved one it can be an indication he or she is checking in.

victortouche,

The arrangement was orderly. Emotional reflections are insightful and impressive. Created impressions through the descriptions are vivid, forceful and making the reader think about it.

I saw no SPAG and no typos. It was very clean.

The words you chose worked well.

I look forward to seeing you again.

Love you,

Oatmeal
