The Fall Of Icarus Comments

Buenos Diaz, Senor Ramos, This is the best poem of yours I have read on the site. It is a superb piece. The contrast from the painting is captured so well here. The prayer of the farmer working the land and the description of his callused hands is really at the core of this piece. A solid 10 from me. I cannot disagree with your conclusion. But again, the nature of adventure and flight is risk and sometimes we fly too close to the sun and suffer the consequences! Have a joyous Christmas and New Year. Hugh
