Carolyn, so well said and a good message for those in need of an emotional or mental boost. Be strong like our national bird, fly high and proud.

Nicely done... John

Oh by the way..... GO YANKEES!!

this is very well written, Carolyn, such truth in these words, politicians are attacking the constitution that was set forth years ago and made this country fine. I enjoyed reading it

Effective pairing of photo and poem, which is in excellent 5/7/5 syllable count
Freedom's price - add apostrophe for possessive
good alliteration in price to pay
you deliver a thoughtful cautionary message

Carolyn, I think of the shackles of sin that keeps us down. Our wings would atrophy. We are grateful for God's breaking the hold on our lives. Perfect line and syllable count. The ah ha moment at the end is powerful. :0 GracieAnn

Exceptional

Hi Carolyn

Yes i do feel like being tethered sometimes in my mind.
Then my body constricts and i fee. Imprisoned.
The eagle may never know what the open freedom is.his loss of freedom is for the joy of others and little it knows what sacrifice it is forced to make.
God bless you and your family.
Benny

This is a very true piece of writing that the author has created with this post. We may seem to live in a free society but we all have tethers holding us in our places.

Carolyn, Your picture you have chosen very much compliments your poem sadly. Grievously and morosely is the topic you handled Most perfectly in your 5/7/5 syllabic format type of poetry. Your choice of words throughout your poem were done meticulously and excellently. Thank you for sharing and posting this and may you have a happy Memorial Day.
Alex

Well, I feel sorry for the Eagle, but yes, I have felt like that at times. Especially this past winter when I was 'confined' to home after falling. Nicely done. Miss Sally
