Dedicated to birds in cages also? A silly question: (\'all creatures\').
I really had not given the situation of trained raptors much consideration before you made your argument...many thanks Fay.

Blimey, I\'m afraid to look in the fridge after reading that! Each time I hear a weather forecast I shall now imagine the metreologist forking through meringue for truths (TBH they might just as well be for all their inaccuracies).
Super picture - though it reminded me of a still they showed me from my last endoscopy.
OK so i\'ve had my fun. I returned to the picture and taking each verse in turn saw your words repeated in the image before me. Quite amazing comparisons and quite quite accurate too.
How creative a mind you possess.

I literally spent some five minutes
just dreamily gazing at that breath-taking picture
if you took that yourself, then I\'m genuinely jealous!
thanks for sharing, dear Fay

what a brilliantly philosophical interpretation
of the wisdom, imbedded
in each nuanced insight, we glean
of Nature\'s majestic brilliance, dear Fay..

I have pondered these things and more. All are seen from our sentient viewpoint but there is surely so much more going on. Communication is closed to us. The nearest we get is with our lovely companion the dog.
Lets be honest though, we barely communicate with each other. War and famine etc.
Your post encourages the mind to go where it may never have considered to trespass before. There fore encouraging one\'s mind to expand.... wholesome.

A different motif from you, much easier to absorb, and yes, I wonder, if others ponder, as we humans do?
Light hearted but very enjoyable

there are, at least in my mind, many kinds of love ... here you have more than adequately poemed several of them and superbly ...
again though, so many of my learned reviewing predecessors have hit the mark with their own take on your very fine offering .... x

To me this is less about the kind of mystical thing that gets called love far too often, but about a deep and abiding care and respect which transcends anything which might be fleeting and can only be ended by external circumstance.
I confess to be totally caught by your well rounded account, Fay.

decades later and my training videos, loom back
larger than life
see, people wrongly assume when the fire is extinguished
so, the healing begins - when rather
its the opposite that occurs
for only, when that catastrophic threat of burning alive
is allowed to simmer, to the back of people\'s mind
do they then: begin
to feel and experience, the sheer horror
of what they\'ve just witnessed, endured
and mind-shatteringly: survived;
by the Fated whimsy
of the same Luck, that abandoned - all those
now, forevermore destined to be categorised
as mere casualties
to Mother Nature\'s insatiable flames: of Wrath...!

A mature love beautifully described and such a sad loss.
And all so well compacted into a uniform shape resembling a small shrub in a pot.
Today we see you very much alive and aware of the beauty surrounding us. Death has not taken you from this wonderful world.

Thanks Fay. A richly worded piece.
I live in the middle of a heavily built up and populated city, on high ground. Flood, and fire (the subject here) are due to become even more endemic than they are already in Australia.
My bush-fire experience in the middle of last season\'s flames was extremely limited as the smoke pall outside my front door made even that step a health hazard.
Devastation and Government response unspeakable... I understand Hawaii was a nice safe spot....
