Late Summer Migrants Comments

very good poem, i like it...

I do like the word twitter and I like the word twit because both you and I are a couple of them aren't we Peter? I also like the poem by the way. Gyp's

I do like the place and time and speed of this. And I like the sound too: twitter! Always enjoy your poems, Linda

Like your old work colleague did, Peter - beautifully captures the passage of time. I don't like the word 'twitter' though.

Yes Max - trippers who are having a week's holiday at the seaside. The migrants are the swallows which leave for Africa after spending the summer here.

This is wonderful and I really identified with it. It has to be about so many of us seniors who are all that is left of the tourists as the younger ones return to school and work. I love being compared to butterflies and swallows (makes me feel better about myself) and we do all know that winter is coming and try not to think too much about it. Good job, Peter! Raynette

Your metaphors work for me. I can see and feel what you describe. Good job. (You're talking about tourists, though, is my impression-not migrant workers. RIght?)

Pete, this is a beautiful poem, like the rest of your other poems. I enjoyed reading it.
