A beautiful write that takes the reader on a wonderful journey. From the dressing room of a woman to the flights of the birds, the poem has a surreal feel to it. And the way things climax into a spiritual connection between the Eleanor n the special bird gives a sense of fulfillment to the reader. The harmony among different species of Nature is the beauty of life. Enchanting imagery throughout. Great depth. A10.
At night he slept while coasting within convoluted currents. In daytime he searched for humans who had soul-fragments that might still join together and achieve that ancient rapport, soul to soul, bird to human, a two-fold harmony. - - - - - - A great write.- - - - As the poem progresses, I feel like flying along with the golden bird- - -The poem takes us into a spiritual journey.
As you know I LOVE mixed media poems. A poem about a painting and a Beatles song...perfection. Lovely lines and images. I like the symmetry of the story...First Eleanor in her dressing room adorning herself with....stuff...and bored....and then the birds...who learn of their relationship to humans...but perplexed and unconcerned...and then there's the special bird who bridges the gap and brings it all together with his love for Eleanor...no longer bored. Fun lyric story. Great imagery, metaphor, and social commentary. Thanks Daniel! :)
Every aspiring poet should a Pamela-Sinicrope as her or his reader. Your perceptiveness equals your enthusiasm, and both complete the experience of the poem which begins inthe solitude of composition and ends in the community of readers. (And I try to be this ideal reader of your poems! !)
Where do I begin? I loved the second verse. It aptly captures what many people - especially rich ones - think life is about. But moreover, I really love the fantasy story element here. As a matter of fact it reminds me of the fantasy film Lady in the Water (which tells of a bond that no longer exists between humans and water nymphs.) I also really loved the use of imagery and well developed your characters were.10/Perfecto~

I know that film. I only saw it once but was utterly charmed and CONVINCED. When fantasy in literature or media comes across as a distant possibility rather than sheer fabrication, the creators have created something that has a moral impact on us. It shows an accessible idealism that is ours to realize in our thoughts and acts. I'm not just thinking about my poem here but also your poetic fantasies as well.

You spilled many colored jewels all over this poem and you did so with such ease and you put a magic spell on us in the mode of Merlin and Homer and all the legend writers of the past. The birds and Eleanor and the Golden Bird glow in the center of this journey into exotic imagination. A 10 of course.
