The Albatross
A Trijan Refrain poem24 total reviews
Comment from Jay Squires
Haha, Yvonne, searching out the downtrodden, the poor albatross. At least he's not 500 feet up in a tree like the baby eagle who has but one chance to fly or die. Of course that might speak equally about the comparative intelligence of mama albatross ... to keep your babes close to the ground for their takeoff. A very good, melodious poem, though, my dear friend.

Yes, Yvonne, I don't get around to reviewing poetry often. I find it so demanding. I just got over a bout of Covid, but I'm now in the land of the living.

I'm so sorry you've been ill. It's good to see you back. Take care.

I enjoyed this very much!
Your writing is fluid and smooth, like water gliding down a stream.
The rhymes flow effortlessly and without force.
The repeated phrases were effective at bringing the reader back to the beginning like a silky loop.
I appreciate the presentation especially the font choice and size.
This is an eloquently written poem.

This was lovely, hands down one of the best poetry entries I've seen on this site. I don't know if that was intended but it almost reads as a song, I am totally picturing a crowd signing this. Really lovely.
