"A Bird no Longer in the Captive Hand (Sonnet)"... The cadence of the verses are celestial.

The contents count and sound higher.

This "English Sonnet" "A Bird no Longer in the Captive Hand (Sonnet)"
is very deep delivering an entwined message that stimulates thoughts and strikes the imagination.

I learned and pleased my soul reading "A Bird no Longer in the Captive Hand (Sonnet)".

Thank You for sharing Your poetical and philosophical thoughts and art.

Drink the dews of happiness in the conclusion of your work.

Never rest Your pen; don't let Your quills dry.

"No man restrains a love without a sin
of pride as bold and certain as the night."----Jeff, if this isn't Shakesperian --I don't know what is. This is one of the most beautiful pieces scribed from a soul that I have ever seen.

You are amazing fellow poet! Others can truly learn from this work.

Thank You,
Emilie
