Dear Joseph, your poem made me think `what shall be the divine way for me to breathe? `. What I always believed was; there is always poet’s blood in poems. That’s why love always bleeds with poems… I haven’t read all your poems yet; but I can feel your passion more than your bleed in your poems.

Inspiring poem. Birds are meant to fly by themselves. The caged bird sings the free bird flies... I wonder what the other birds are like....

Finally I read most of your recommendations like this one.. 'it is the flight that matters-higher deeper' indeed it is...you have this brilliant line almost at the heart of the poem. Well proportioned. Deep.

At the risk of overworking the word awesome, I say your poem is awesome. 'I insist on learning how to stand on my wings when I fall'. 'Believe and fly.' Wonderfully penned...Marianna Jo Arolin

very interesting I liked the allusions to Cervantes and Da Vinci even if your not an orinthologist you are quite perceptive about our winged compatriots with whom we share the planet,

I was pleasantly surprised by the exaggeration 'flying with his eyelashes'

Believe and fly: winners are the wings that dare. Do warble: is the divine way for you to breathe. ---- fine lines to share... a bird with a great spirit and hope to dream on and survive.
