That was amazing. It reminded me of something from Aesops Fables or something. Love it.

The first stanza was just amazing - afterwards though, it seemed like the rhymes became forced.

Yep... you're right. :P I tried to make it sound okay though!

Yo Jojo, Isn't it Rousseau who said it? The born-free-with-shakle thingajimmy.
Any way beautiful poem, Snoinks, it's sweet
Courage may blossom in quiet hearts,
For who can tell where bravery starts?
For truth is a song, oft lying unsung

Hiya Snoink!

What a beautiful little poem! I really enjoyed and savoured every word of it! You described the bluebird perfectly in the first stanza or two, and didn't spend too much time on that, which was good. I also liked how the poem spoke about "no true freedom", and the disagreement between you and the person you're with made the poem very interesting to read.

I do agree, it is a bit sing-songish. I felt like I could probably make up a tune, and sing the poem to it. I really liked the feeling of being able to sing this. I loved the rhyming too, no line was too long or too short, it rhymed perfectly. The timing of the poem was spot-on! You go it right! Don't add anothers line or stanza, or take-away another line or stanza, because this is timed to perfection.

I really loved the last stanza. It made me giggle a bit. When both of you look at each other and not one more word was said. I think what made me giggle was the awkwardness you two would have felt. But, the concept and timing of the poem was what I adored and drove the poem to perfection!

This is definitely one of my favourites! Best wishes for future writing!

This is a really, really nice poem!
I absolutely loved it!!!
It's very Inspiring to me and really made me think about life again. I think that's also what it's kind of meant to do...
It actually really reminds me of a poem I wrote, it has some similarities...
Anyway this has really impressed me and i hope i'll be able to read something like this again from you, I enjoyed it that much!
Happy writing...

Hi Snoink!

I know this poem has a lot of reviews but I couldn't help myself and I'm sure one more doesn't a matter.

This poem had such a wonderful flow to it and I could picture the nice day watching a blue bird so well.

I was not really expecting the ending when the bluebird got shot, and I think it shows that your poem means there is no true freedom.

If I had to choose a favourite stanza then it would be the end one. I think this poem was extremely well written and you did an awesome job! It was a great read.
