Stunning, Gaby!! That photo is incredible. Your words bring it to life.
The last line packs the punch!
Landed.

Powerful. The words take flight.
your words bring poignancy
into the beauty of the image
Ends with the pounce
of a raptor
“rehabbed raptor on the glove ” is so musical!
I agree with Sylvia. That musical quality is emphasized when the poem is read load. Poem and photo are integral as they mutually speak to one another. Very effective, Gaby
I like your variation on the haiku form.
love: rehabbed raptor
There is a vulnerability and a strength in this poem and photo
This poem packs a powerful environmental punch into just three lines. It really makes you feel the weight of what’s being lost.
Both the poem and image is so very sharp!
