Anna Banasiak’s poetry has caught the eye for its subtle and exquisite imagery and is a talent we hopefully will get to know more of in the coming years ahead. William Willis

Very descriptive poem. A great metaphor, the soul and the birds both soaring with the rising sun. Beautiful! Betty Janko

This is sublime. The two different worlds that merge at sunrise and the difference it means to life, all life really. William Willis

S.zaynub Kamoonpuri Wow this is marvellous poetry in description and imagery. I can picture it and your word choice is poetic and great too. I like how u tell of cats lulled to sleep.

William Willis wonderful images are conjured up in this homely poem.

Conrad van den Bergh A beautiful poem with a great introduction creating vivid imagery: "the rustle of autumn leaves, lulled cats, cuddled on the porch." Personally I find this very much in the post-modernistic style of verse. To the point, yet enough to create the image that is needed to take the reader into the next verse where a night time scene is set. The conflict is there: the burnt house and the emotion of belonging to parents. Then the outcome or resolve, is one much like a dream world and a final realization of a better future. This is a great poem and one which I read a few times. Thank you for sharing!
