BIRD-TUNED.
kevin browne said:
I was once a man of the working sea which flaunted all types of heroic birds. Gannets were my favorite to watch as they speed down from the skies and 100mph and by diving in to the sea at that speed their aerodynamics glided into the waters and spring up with a big fish in their beaks. a truly amazing world of birds and you covered it so well and beautifully. love this write, Fay.

Oh you and your ability to conjure up these wonderful mental pictures with such fine metaphor.
I particularly loved \"tide lifts false breast-heaving liquid ribs\" such an apt description.
You\'re a wonder!

Beautifully expressed, Fay! Every once in a long time there are these special moments where you \'just know\', where you \'are there\'. Moments that are very special, nearly like an epiphany.

THE KNOWING.
dusk arising said:
Yes indeed, to experience a truth beyond all we are taught or hope for brings such a knowing.
It resides within and is a strength felt every day.
Yes, we each are a part of it all.

A lofty and worthwhile goal ... being in the moment. This exquisite poem nails it, Fay! It exudes the wisdom we strive for.

Very evident the image is a coastal town, I loved the image, both the visual AND the written. I felt ocean spray in my face.

A beautiful part of the country - the photo also puts me in mind of Robin Hoods Bay where about 18 months ago I drove down to the bottom (big mistake) and I stopped to allow a car coming towards me to get by and he clouted my nearside wing. Anyway this also a beauty of a poem Fay - really brings the place alive.

Thanks FAY for introducing the important topic of wind ! It is Mother Natures way of dissipating all the gaseous pollution Industrial Man pours into the atmosphere each day ! Carbon dioxide ~ acid forming Sulphur dioxide and Nitrogen dioxide etc. It is also an important factor in the Water Cycle. The WIND cleanses and provides ! However as you poem suggests we always want the Wind at our back and for it to be soft and warm and not a hurricane ! Your Meteorologically BRIAN ! Love the visual so so evocative !

There are no winners in any war, only losers. While I admire and am thankful for those who fight, I am also sad that in thousands of years mankind has not found a better way to deal with conflict. The saddest part is that these young men and women are the future of our country. Fay, every politician and leader should get a copy of your poem!

It\'s already been said above - I sometimes wonder at the insanity of it all when we send our forces to far points of the globe for what appear to be unwarranted conflicts ( Iraq is the prime example) - super work Fay.

Superb write. So many return with hidden scars yet they are dismissed by those in power. I have seen many like this and seem to have no way of escape from their terror in their minds.

War is the definition of insanity ... yet has remained a favorite pastime of man for millennia. Go figure. Your beautifully displayed poem says it well, Fay!
