Maybe two or three others on site write free verse of this quality. There is s diffetence between blank verse and free verse that escapes people here. Quatrains that don't rhyme border on prose and are poetry in name only. This is poetic free verse.

A lovely, well-crafted poem!
Nice visuals complement the stunning artwork;
"blue ripples":
"red flashes";
To be able to take flight in so colorful a fashion as your metaphoric journey of love soars as that of the feather's grace.
Excellent!
The soft purple font also captured my eye--very pretty!

I like this. It is well written free verse and attractively presented.I like the idea that Love is what makes the 'bird' fly.Your alliterations and metaphors are very well done. Great job!

I like the black and pink color scheme.Black like night and fear of being alone never feeling the flight of love and pick the color color of love.

I like the metaphor of the birds flight as love and the feather floating as the loss of the dream because if a bird loses its feathers it can no longer fly,

Keep writing

    You really have what I was going for on the money. It's always great to hear that someone gets what your going for. Thank you kindly.

    You're welcome. I am glad I got your points. Sometimes people use metaphors to mean something totally different than what I read into them.

This is beautiful, both in content and in form.
You captured the idea of love, used feathers and flight to emphasize it, and ended with a beautiful image of human love taking flight.
Excellent.

Great pic, great shape to the write. Evocative imagery and a positive resolution. Strong use of alliteration. 'plumet', unless it is an intentional play on'plume', should read 'plummet' Cheers - DJ
