General Comments -


To me, poetry is music composed with words rather than notes. Words are sounds whether spoken aloud or read from a page because you hear them inside your head. But also, the words in a poem should convey a definite mood, emotion, image, or tell a story.

With structured poetry, there is a defined rhythm attained through the strict number of syllables for each line. In this case, the author has chosen a cinquain for his vehicle of expression.

The title and the theme of the poem match perfectly. It is a comparison between the habits of certain species of birds and humans - aspects of life we have in common. A simple parallel, but effective nonetheless


The syllable count per line requirements of the cinquain style has been met perfectly, so no faults for technique.



Word choice and aethetics -

Sparrows - flit the high void. Sparrows are small birds and flit is a small, light word which conveys the quick beat of small wings. I like the fact it is a singular staccato note in an otherwise legato or smooth-sounding string of words.

Ravens conjure rainbows - good alliteration. Also, I love the image it creates in my mind.

Swans abide love life-long. These three; like us - again good alliteration and the initial S of the swans is so satisfyingly reflected in the S of us at the end.

All in all your poem, in my opinion, is a wonderful example of the cinquain form.
