You are a master of brevity, and yet speak so much detail into every line.This is a remarkable piece of writing. i love the intro, as creation myth and the ay you tied it into earthbound religion at the end.Kerry O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00720862912375945249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2397499842210905447.post-65189313065021967002019-07-07T00:55:11.281-07:002019-07-07T00:55:11.281-07:00I most love the line Sanaa quoted.I most love the line Sanaa quoted.Sherry Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769154286598233146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2397499842210905447.post-45984755683134548642019-07-07T00:50:45.016-07:002019-07-07T00:50:45.016-07:00This is gorgeously rendered, Susie!💖 Especially l...This is gorgeously rendered, Susie!💖 Especially love: "Unity grew from light and dark until life feathered its way into being."😊<br />Sanaa Rizvihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06681404650477409830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2397499842210905447.post-26043932690659130122019-07-07T00:02:39.930-07:002019-07-07T00:02:39.930-07:00Born from feathers makes me think it could be bird...Born from feathers makes me think it could be birds or angels in this poem – or something in between. These lines struck me as they are so beautiful, Susie:<br />‘Unity grew from light and dark<br />until life feathered its way into being’.<br /><br />Reading about wings and feathers reminded me of two books that made an impression on me: Mr Pye by Mervin Peake, in which a man trying to be very good sprouts angel wings and then has to work hard at being bad to lose them – with consequences; and the children’s author David Almond's fabulous novel Skellig, in which a boy finds an angel in the garage. <br />Kim M.
