Flight

[Truerenigma]

I should add that I found some of the referant argumentsa bit overt for my taste, but then they are things that I like to think about when reading poems, so I don't know if that's really a bad thing, and others might find it more subtle.

this seems like such a silly matter of personal preference (which it is, and I just want to fit in) but the (virtually meaningless) complaint is really that the allegory is more readily available than the figure itself. The poem could perhaps deal a bit more directly with the physical figure in its landscape, but I think it works pretty well and i just love any excuse to use that fine arts metaphor.
