by clipped wings

Great take on the picture Suz.
I liked the 'clipped wings' leading to a kingdom running the gamut from aggression to indifference. Well done!
ReplyDeletealways graceful indeed!
ReplyDeleteYour swanny microfiction is like poetry with strong but lovely ruffles on it. Wonderful!

ReplyDeleteI wonder if the clipping makes them that way, or whether they're just naturally a bit . . . swannish!
ReplyDeleteNice poem!
two thumbs up, suz!

You've pulled so much from that photo Suz! How many people out there are living just that life, of clipped wings and so much emotion locked up behind dignity. I love, love, love this.
