When Birds Fall From Blue Skies

Sage use of words on page  
Seasoning my mind with muse  
 
You inspire me  

And your tiger spirit is right. Don't wait. Don't let the dark rule.

Thank you, Mama, and yes, you understand... possibly better than most who have and will pass through for a read.

I like the rhythm Jade, a positive strength deriving from the negativity.It inspired me! by the way, I already read your Starbucks poems and admired them very much! I hope I can have your confidence and skills in describing normal themes so freshly and charmingly. But as a non-native speaker and writer, i always feel timid about commenting on native writers' works.  I am afraid I will fail to express my feeling as they truly are. Plus, I am really struggling with my life recently. So.. I promise I will carefully write a comment on your poems and I will write my own Starbuck poem and share it with you once I have enough private time and space to do so...
So nice to meet you, my friend, I am greatly impressed by both your talent and your passion for poetry!

Thank you. Very much, Angela... I’m so hlD to hear from you about this poem, and the Starbucks work as well.    
 
I wish I was strong enough to say more, but I had a fever overnight and I don’t think I’m in the clear yet, and I’m weak,  so my apologies.

strength derived from adversity-faced/endured... wisdom to act, control of the fire so it burns where it must, not those we love best

really well-delivered write, jade, given the parameters. had me struggling with my own :blush:

My goodness, dear ms butters, a gracious thank you - you honor me.

Dear JP,

This is a lovely poem.

“Turn away,  
walk away calm,  
look anon:  
what isn’t ours  
this time when they fall. ”  

Stand out stanza for me. Reminds me to stay in check which is always a better idea than the converse. A very helpful reminder for me as we enter the season of overeating, overspending, over visiting with one’s family. Uuhh what I really meant was the season of love and joy.  Excellent write.  H🌷

Thank you, dearest Honoria—
The explanation of your ‘take’ on my ink is unique in its insight.

So what I liked about this comp (and this entry) is that in finding four letter words most have one syllable, it was very challenging indeed. You made this flow so well giving it spirit.
Good luck in the comp.
