A very intriguing poem, as it made me wonder if perhaps there was hidden meaning behind the words. Also the mental image you created of the bird flying freely over the land was very impressive. I enjoyed this!
A bolt in the blue is just like a bolt from the blue...........no one knows a sudden and unforeseen event that might fall on us any time any moment ii our life.........just to remain prepared to attend to it sensibly......A great write.......
A poem full of compassion and deep feelings to save the innocent helpless winged friend. Beautiful poem. Thank you.
Such a beautifully written but heartbreaking poem. There has to be an end to animal cruelty. It is all so unnecessary and something I feel so strongly about. I hope this poem helps to get the message across. Thanks for sharing Amitava!
Arrows may be sped while swimming in the air and soaring into the measureless heights of the sky! If struck, we might flop down to the ground wounded and bleeding..... Everything can be unexpected and that is life! Moving write!
Amitava, a very moving and heart touching poem, I see your double meaning and appreciate it's depth, such a compassionate man you are. Feeling the freedom of flying high and then being shot down by an arrow, then your amazing compassion taking and holding it so gingerly, trying to ease it's pain. A very beautiful poem with an enlightening message, deeply felt. Thank you Amitava for such a poignant and touching poem. RoseAnn
