What a great poem, Raoul! I love your sense of fancy and fantasy! FAvorite lines:

Till all of the world is revealed to me!
And no nook or cranny shall a mystery be,

Thanks for this bit of philosophical whimsy! Caroline

Raoul this is a wistful and very well written poem. Your 'olde worlde' style is very endearing and wonderful to read. As always the imagery brought forth is perfect. Well worth a six my friend. :) Jaq xx

A wonderfully whimsical monkey flight in poetic dreams of flying. Fabulous imagery and imagination. Impressive mono-rhyming the first 7 lines. Then aabb rhyme for the rest. Classic pentameter. Very nice. I thought the flying monkeys in OZ belonged to the Wicked Witch of the West, and were evil?

Thanks Tresichel. Yes, they were evil but I've glossed over that fact for poetic licence :) R

Trading wings for wit huh! What an interesting and creative idea you have here. Loved the rhyme and the passage you took your reader along on. Loved it all.

Oh..I love this poem. Your words have a feel of freedom and floating around to where one wants to go. Excellent descriptive images and a fun poem to read over and over again.

I'll tell you what I don't like about this, that I don't have a six star rating left to give you. I thought I'd saved one but somehow it disappeared. Anyways, this is really beautifully written. Your imagery and metaphors are unique and creative, your lines all flow together so well because you took the time to adjust your syllabic count, I love the creative way you've adjusted certain words, especially 'human be'. There isn't a single thing I'd change here, you should review and get some member dollars and promote this, it's definitely worth an All-Time Honor. Great work again.
