Against the Wind

Hardy little creatures - so small against the elements, they huddle together and keep each other warm
You have captured the scene perfectly - and I wonder if there is an underlying message here?

Ahh! I love to read your work

Love Mand xxxxxx

this was very thought provoking, it bought imagery of the people who live in the street here in NYC. When winter comes they get 50Gal empty drums and start fires in them to stay warm. I see them huddled together around these make shift fire places. Your sparrows put that in my head. Yes and I so warm in the cozy privacy of my home.
What and absolutly wonderful write, there is so much in this write that can be said.
thanks, it was a heart touching pleasure to read!
Always Eddie

Well here I was thinking of writing a poem about birds around my feeder and you beat me with this lovely write lol.................scribbler

Ah this is lovely, I like the errant snowflakes,
their guilt so trying to look innocent, and yet
in some ways they are! The birds, I don't know
how they manage here in Norway, with frosts
lasting nearly two months so far, and going
in places below -30%C, and with the wind
its doubled!!!!

A nice poem Loreli, are you in Italy too,
but they would use two ll's?
Love Ann of Norway.

This is the maiden
One of your poems
That I have read today
And
As I can now see,
You also dwell behind closed doors,
As we do in Montreal,
Perhaps the cold snow shields us,
As in the snow
There are no sparrows
You know

Lori,

poetry about nature don't usually rock my boat...but this one stirred me. You brought me into the poem and I was there sitting with you in the warmth by the fire looking out of the window at the birds.

My poetry is often in your face and a slightly aggressive, but you calmed me down and opened my eyes to the obvious which I tend look beyond.

I find the poet 'raj' here at Neo can do the same thing by bringing a tranquility and calness to me...you have done the same.

This line was interesting:

separating their world from mine

we are all in the same world, but I agree with you that despite sharing the world we do still have a divide between us and animals (birds)...two different worlds. I wonder if we would be as resillient to the elements if we were birds?

Good write...and I am calm and peaceful now,

thanks for sharing,

HS

I always enjoy in poetry, they are such a hardy little bird that despite the weather they gather. I suspect the deeper meaning is in people who are not so fortunate to be that hardy or indoors just watching this take place. I feel for the many who must do it hard on winter nights and days.

Very nice image I got upon your read Lori. I have to check out errantly....

Missed reading you

Blessings
