Thank you so much! Means a lot to me,
especially now that my sweet little brown 'arrow'
is not doing so well. Her 'flying' days are behind her.

Still, to this day, the finest thing I've stumbled across here on dA.

Seriously.

It's close to my heart because it's about someone I love dearly.
So it is touching and valuable to me, that you experience it in such a way.
Thank you.

Thanks so much. 
It's decidedly terse but
it did say exactly what I wanted it to say,
so I'm delighted you liked it.

Sometimes the tiniest fragment of a note or scent can fill us with fear, as if nostalgia itself may crush us under its weight. That's exactly what this piece did for me. That kind of resonance is very hard to create.
I wish I could fav it more than once!!

Hah-! I understand that.
Nostalgia bears a powerful ache sometimes.
Thank you again.

Not sure how I missed this. It's a beautiful piece, so evocative. So much said with so few words. A truly well-deserved DD.

Life lesson for me, the less I say the more popular I am...
Thanks Andy.

Happy you enjoyed it, thanks.
Very minimal indeed, but close to my heart 15 words.

I love the consonance of r, intended to give a growling sound, or simply a lingering tempo?
Anyway, beautiful words.

Thank you, and I like Rs too, come to think of it.

Oh, dear, I'm hopelessly in love with this. XD There are so MANY meanings it could have! Like it could be a person saying the word to a dog, and watching her take off to chase them, or a person saying it a woman, and since crows eat carrion, the woman takes off to investigate. Or anything.
Plus, I mean... CROWS.

Shall I tell you or is it better to leave it open-ended..?
I love your interpretations of possibilities.
And thank you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Blah, tell me. But that doesn't mean I'll think your interpretation of your own poem is right.
You're welcome!

So I reckon we agree with each other as to what it means.

's entirely true, too.

Perfect in form, infinite depth in its minimalism.

Thank you, lovely comment.
Perfection is a stretch perhaps but I appreciate your saying so.

Wow, it speaks without saying a lot. I love poetry like that.
Unless I'm thinking the wrong thing

No need to apologize, poetry belongs to the reader
as well as the poet, I think.
Whatever it says to you will be the right thing.

To be honest, I don't really understand it XD I don't get... err, what it's about. But at the same time, I really like it. I feel like it's amazing and has a lot of impact, I just don't know exactly how it makes me feel.
That probably makes no sense
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's lovely, in fact. It makes perfect sense,
sometimes we feel things that aren't easy to put into words,
and really we don't always need to. Thanks for the input, much appreciated.

Thanks, you put it so eloquently XD I agree though. And no problem!

Amazing, I don't know what it is, but it's making me feel something...

Tightly strung with strong conceptual colour. Leaves a bit of a twang in the mind.
