Poetry
To Gill21

Immediate response to PM from Gill.

Poem needs some polishing.

Careless landing,

An awkward fall,

In that moment,

End to it all,
 
As bird of flight.
 
Child of the light,
 
By broken wing,

Prisoned til night

Each comma is to indcate a short pause.  
 
Long pause indicated by full stop, period or point whichever you prefer. 
 
Then as before, last point forgotten. 
 
Otherwise Hello and Welcome to To GW.
could be longer

Hello and welcome to GW. 
 
Gill had written a tale involving an MC who appeared to have become chair-bound and thus excluded from the world of her friends. 
 
The Poem was a response to her tale, me seeing her MC as an injued "fledgling."

I just was implying by my "..." that I was not sure what to think of it. 
I do think it has a nice flow of words though.

I had thought that you were questioning the use of commas. Which is a valid point. 
 
Thank you for your comments on this and my short story. 
 
I write very little serious poetry and my last two were in response to other writers' work. 
 
You might like to look at "In Memorium". 
 
Brian.
