This is a good entry for the two line poem contest. The sprinkle of alliteration and rhyme work well - and the message reflective and wise. I like it. Well done and best of luck in the competition.

This is a good entry into the two-lined poem contest. The text is a great size. You balanced the text well in the poem box. Your message is stated with clarity. You even made it rhyme. Your AN is a poem waiting to be written about changing adulthood. It added to the meaning of your two lines. The visual fits well. Good luck in the contest.

You're absolutely right. You never see eagles returning back to their original nests with their babies to leave them with their parents. Once they're launched, they continue to soar with the wind beneath their wings. We need to give better flying lessons...

Your imagery in this short poem is perfect for the message it conveys. In two lines you have invited us to think about how we prepare our children to take flight and how we must let them fly, not away, but ever upwards. Good luck in the contest.

We seem to have a generation of failure to launch. Your two line poem is so true to life, birds send their offspring away into the wild blue yonder but human children seem unable to leave the house sometimes. Excellent theme for a poem and I am sure many can relate.

Very well written. I enjoyed your poem. The artwork was awesome, and went well with your poem. I especially liked the last part of it. Humankind could better launch their offspring. Thought provoking poem, and interesting. I especially am glad for your author's notes. Thank you for sharing.

I think this is exquisitely penned. So much so that I stopped and reread it several times as I considered all the entries. I hope I'm back to congratulate you for a well-thought-out and nuanced poem!

Excellent entry for the Two Line Poetry Contest. It's hard to let go our children but it must be done.

I like the presentation too. Concrete images easy to visualize.

Good connection between lines.

Goodluck
