A sudden gust of misty breeze rushed in
And left pinheads of wet on windblown hair.
Though swans still floated in for late dinner

Such galleon-feathered whiteness, rare sight Which catches breath away, over twenty Swans together, gracing sunshine's last light, As clouds loomed in, dropping gloom again.- - - -most perfectly written poem EVER.... Magnificent! ! ! ! ! !
So alive to mothers' wings, thus fleeing harm. Around this watery world I walk, as part Of daily habit, - - to embrace it's calm. very very placid and ageless as the beauty of nature...till death do us part... never been to england...but read a bit about it... you might find some of my poems interesting...they are tailored in england...sewn here in pakistan cheers
This is a truly stunning piece, one of the best I've read here so far, such great attention to imagery and a real sense of serenity penetrated my poetic eye as i visualized this wonderful place you conveyed for us, so many fabulous lines to read and read again, i love imagery and this is brimful with it! ! ! a true poet you are my friend! ! fabulous work keep it up! ! I'll be downloading your ebook now! ! !
Of course, the swans that inspired this fabulous poem, are of 'galleon-feathered whiteness', unlike those in Australia - black as coal with bright red bills (almost Spanish) . But the elegance and grace of the swan is universal and your poem gracefully expresses this truth. In particular I loved 'gracing sunshine's last light, ' and 'alive to mothers' wings, '. A lyrical pastoral poem with great appeal. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
This serene poem calls for all eyes and ears… It made me visualize what you penned and beyond… It made me think of life forms in all seasons…Not only swans and ducks in the spring I saw geese walking on ice in winter! A magnificent piece with vivid imagery…An insisting and exquisite reminder of the wondrous nature!
I have often written with 'Swan Lake' playing in the background. Your beautiful poem lingers in the mind like that luminous music. You are truly a poet worthy of the name. Love, SandraX.
Your poems are so truly beautiful.. And your love nature, And your passion for life always dances in you writing... Now when I see a Bird Landing in the water, I think of you... Our when I go on a walk and see a amazing little wild flower....I think Fay Fay the beautiful wild flower.... Randy~*~
Fay, your imagery blows me away from Australia to you on your wonderful daily walk. The clockwork toys and twenty swans gracing sunshines last light made me realize how special your walks are. Wonderful writing! Karin Anderson

" So alive to mothers' wings, thus fleeing harm. Around this watery world I walk, as part, of daily habit, to embrace it's calm. What a lovely way to end a lovely poem of your nature walk.
