  "I feel like you are speaking directly to me and so many women out there for we are all like the swallow with the broken wing and one with the broken heart. Great poem..."

  "This is a well thought out poem which carries a lot of poetic devices. The imagery you have used is very apt and very precise.I can pick out a sound device-rhyme-in the first few lines and a simile here and there.It is heart warming poem that seeks to compare the swaloow to people with broken hearts. (I hope that your heart was not broken like that). You have done well in this poem, but I would like to point out to you that you need to keep a reign on your punctuation so as to bring a smooth flow to the poem. For example there shouldn't be a full stop in the second line of the poem.Check other lines for punctuation erros. What is the meaning of the word disseling? I am lost as to its meaning. Otherwise this is good poem that deserves the publication."
