This 5-7-5 about birds, Always and Forever, has the proper formatting and points to the swan as a symbol of elegance and love.

I am really enjoying reading these bird poems. Most of the entries are good, but yours is the loveliest. You present it so well with the lavender and the artwork. I was at peace before I read the first word.
I like that you chose to focus on the loyalty and grace of the swan. Those are the traits that set the swan apart in my mind. You should do well in the voting.

This poem depicts a beautiful truth, only the swan can be mates for life, that's why they choose their partners carefully. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

Lovely poem and lovely picture. That they mate for life is a great note on which to dwell. and so we should follow their examples, except for the swimming in cold water.
nice poem.

I think this is a lovely verse that you have penned for the Bye Bye Blackbird contest.
The grace of your beautiful poem matches the grace of the beautiful swans, both in the picture and real life.
Well done.
Sharon

This is a very well-written, lovely poem about the sweetness of love and the symbolic significance of the swan. You have smoothly included the fact that swans often do mate for life.

    We could learn a lot from the natural world around us if we take the time to observe their ways. Thank you for dropping by to read and review.

I think that I've heard that swans are soulmates for life. I think that we humans could learn something from these beautiful birds. Some of us change mates like changing shoes or sox. I like the message of this and enjoyed reading this well written work. Well done and good luck in the contest.

your poem is just full of love; what a gorgeous image, also. There's something about swans that make them look so graceful, beautiful. What fantastic words you wrote.
