And yes, they will always be there in the end at your end so that they can mop up as it were. Riddle me this, since condors are always present at your end, do they begin eating on your end, your middle, or your front or top?

This is very good, Bill. I like the connection between the past and the future. Well thought out. Each word is chosen appropriately to make a coherent, well thought out piece. Marilyn

Condors soar gracefully on the wind with their huge wingspan free, but anchored. This bird of antiquity hopes to endure until the end. A good analogy to the kite, since this bird makes flying appear so easy like a carefree kite floating gently in the wind without care or concern.

Very stately wording in this. The condor appears destined to be around for a long time. Nice way of comparing it to a kite. Sounds like they were here from the beginning and will be here for the end. Remarkable birds. Excellent work. judi

Beautifully worded - free yet anchored. Comparing them to a kite is quite creative. Good 'k' sounds throughout.

Best condor poem of all. Too bad you didn't save this for a contest.

Contests are won by Fanstorians with phone call friends. Winners of contests judged by the mystery judges are either decided by the owner, or a coffee clutch of the mutual admiration society. I have won contests, but usually share the award with a ?Vote for me!? contributor, or enter with few others and win by a vote. I know that sounds whiny, but I?ve lost to some sad entries which didn?t even fit the criteria of the challenge. Now, I?ve also lost to obviously superior entries (which most probably are, as my rant winds down). I usually type this out and erase it, sending instead a ?Thanks?. I might still.

Hello Bill, what a good topic for your poem, the image of the Condor is very effective. It is a bird we associate with an ancient time, but in your poem, it also has a birds-eye view of the end. I thought this clever and well written with those strong word choices are stark and make you think. Thanks, Bill and have a great day, Ana :)
