 |  | Feathers  [ASR] A different kind of love poem ... (Form: Free Verse)  |
| (5.0)  Hiya Ken!  I am happy to review this in honour of Breast Cancer month!  I was drawn to the image in the title as it was appealing and evocative.   What a lovely and eloquent expression about your experience with your wife. I appreciated the metaphors of feathers and water in contrast. The imagery of the first verse is potent as is the action of "pulling life plumage". Wow! Very sad to contemplate. I stopped to ponder on "life plumage" wondering if it should be 'life's" but I think it works the way it is as well.  Your use of periods is effective and adds a dramatic effect. The use of a free style poem suits the emotional content and theme.   The comparison of her darkness and you playing the lighter tone is brilliant and a tribute to not only the suffering one but to the care giver---both being strong in their own way. You weave the light and dark effectively with chosen words and images. The last line echos a deep truth.... the helplessness is under it all, yet the holding of a positive vision falls is so vital in spite of the eventual outcome. Wow! I also feel the not wanting to know what is coming as well, to keep strength up until one has to deal with grief. I honour your gift in being able to write this. Thanks for sharing such a personal expression.  Keep the ink flowing as you follow your muse and write on!  eyestar  "WdC SuperPower Reviewers Group"   My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
