I shouldn't sample such candy so close to dinner. This is a delight, Roy. No message. Sheer enjoyment of the flight of sound and the fluttering images they produce. Great work, Roy, though it's more like great pleasure.

Blessings, Friend.

Well done. I thought this was a pretty good poem. I think it lacked in fluidity at certain points, but this prompt was very difficult. 7 syllables is such an awkward line... Thank you for sharing :)

This is a delight to read :) Seven lines - check. Seven syllables per line - check. 1 alliteration in every line - I see two alliterations in every line but one. You met the contest requirements and a little bit more. Congratulations on placing first. Well deserved!

Hi Roy ...

As you may well know, I am anything but a poet. But I do appreciate the fine art created by those who are so good at the art. Loved this piece of work from you. Interesting how you took the silly antics and playfulness of the swallows and then turned on the alarm about the hawks waiting for their prey.

Wishing you the very best. God Bless ...

Congratulations. A worthy winner. Every word in this poem has strength. I like the bedlam's bag. Very original and saying a lot in just two words. Well done. :)

This is a fascinating read. I love to
watch the hawks in my area when they are sitting in
watch for their prey to show it's head or tail. They
are cunning hunters and almost never miss. You have
this form of write done to a tee, and I am just now
aware of this form and find it quite full of interesting
facts about the subject. Best wishes for your writing prompt.

I loved the imagery and alliteration in this piece, Roy. You captured the glide of two swallows well in this piece and I loved the words used such as: swirling, wheeling, tumbling turning. Excellent choice of words. I couldn't find any faults. Congrats on winning the contest by the way...Jacob

So beautifully written. The flow is magnificent and the rhyming is unforced and is very, very moving, action is constant with the use of 'ing' words. Well composed. Congrats on the win. Les
