Aw, thank you so much for that. I'm quite pleased with it, and out of those short poems I wrote around that time I think this may be one of those I'm happiest with.

And you're welcome *hugs* -- I really love being able to use that icon. =:) And I've even managed to correct the code that links to your name, now; I can never remember the syntax for that. =:P

I like it. Sometimes the shortest poems can be some of the most effective, and I really think you captured the feel of the bird's flight very well. Sometimes I think it would be so wonderful to be able to fly like that.

Thank you very much. =:) Oh, I know that feeling very well. It would doubtless scare me witless -- I've never been up in a glider or balloon, largely for that reason -- but it must be such a glorious thing to be able to do.

Oh, I'm sure I'd be terrified to go up in something as flimsy as a glider! I know I always kind of threatened to learn to fly, but I'm not sure if I'd have the nerve even in a regular airplane, never mind something like what you mention. But yes, it does look like something that would be a wonderful experience. Birds, and especially raptors of all kinds, always make it look so easy and elegant.

That sounds intriguing! I don't thnk RR could come along, though, since we'd presumably want the balloon to be able actually to take off. =;)
