Gypsy,
I like your modern Haiku which tells of the crow's perspective.
Wintertime is just a few months away, and I get the chills feeling cutting snow on my cheeks.
Nice poem, Gypsy,
Blessings,
Cindy.

I enjoyed reading your modern haiku and Authors Notes. It's interesting that the Alpine bird finds the very highest location in which to nest. Your haiku itself is inline with this form and I particularly like the last line of Mount Everest in its eyes, a message about striving for goals and to be where one feels comfortable. Superior Writing but no sixes left Love Alexan x :))

Excellent entry for the Etheree Poem writing prompt contest.

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

Good syllables count and connection between lines.

Good luck in the contest. Xoxox

This was not only a beautiful poem, it was inspirational as well. The imagery of the poem was vivid and regal. Great job on this. Thank you for posting. Truly lovely. Gretchen

What a wonderful modern haiku, Gypsy. They were wonderful dual pictures, first of the mountain range and then of the bird. Your words were kind, they chose to act on that kindness. An Alpine chough of the crow family see in his eyes the peaks. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!

Another fine poem, Gypsy....and can you imagine how tough they're existence must be? Show me brutal and there's life there. Makes me rather embarrassed to complain

Hi Gypsy, your poem is well written and filled with vivid imagery.

I especially liked:
wind cuts
like sharp glass.

(Good analogy)

Beautiful presentation and photo. I understand why a bird might want to fly atop Mt. Everest, but I don't understand why all these people want to climb to the top. I understand that it's a challenge, but I don't find seriously risking anyone's life worth the challenge. Maybe it's me and maybe my brain doesn't think clearly.

Well done. Keep the blue waters flowing. Xo. M

I like your modern haiku- beautiful picture presentation- (Fanstory picture archives ?) nice-
Interesting syllable combination! 1-6 cool - suggest eliminate "the" to get the syllable count desired? 'Over tallest peeks- ' great notes- who ''new" I didn't- good job AP

I never use the Fanstory pictures..such. my opinion they suck.

Thank you very much for your excellent review and kind words.

I agree! Which do use?I know you mentioned it before- I have to figure out how to import to my desktop and then to Fanstory - computer dummy!!!

reply by the author on 13-Jul-2023

First search for a picture you like. In Google you just type the kind of picture you like and placing your mouse over it do a right click and you'll see a down menu. Choose SAVE and save it to your desktop. Then when you start a new post, click on SELECT FROM COMPUTER then you drag your desktop picture and place it on the UPLOAD IMAGE. This is a lot. LOL
Maybe is better to use the Fanstory pictures.

you are not a dummy, it can be hard to learn something new :)

Beautiful pictures! And I like how you shaped the poem into a mountain. So cool that alpine crows can live and fly in such altitudes. They must have different lungs from other birds!

Yes, I was surprised too. I thought the eagle would be the one.

Why can't everyone get it the way you do?

Thank you, big sister. I appreciate your kind and insightful review 😊

Love.

I could use some of that cold wind at the moment. We are headed into record breaking heat starting today.
I appreciate the interesting facts about the Alpine Chough. This is the first I have heard of it. It must be a tough bird to leave at those heights.
Beautiful presentation, both visually and the verse.
