Oooh Silverhanded I am loving these poems. The themes of love and travel are so vivid. I think my favorite is "soul" just the way that it compares the speaker to the far-off Odysseus and his journey, and your journey, that was really cool. I also loved "esti libera"! Rather than sappy, it evoked a more genuine romantic, feel-good imagery. I think the wind-swept freedom imagery of Italy does the trick! <3 Wonderful reads! Thanks for sharing these.
The bird that would soar above the level plain of tradition and prejudice must have strong wings. It is a sad spectacle to see the weaklings bruised, exhausted, fluttering back to earth. — Kate Chopin, The Awakening
