An old man told his grandson, "There is a fight between two wolves inside of us. One is bad-- it is lust, pried, and lies. The other is good-- love, caring and humility." The boy thought for a moment and asked, "Which one wins?" "The one you feed."

What stood out was your confidence and your expression. Of course, "Mulberries" is an attractive title and it was a really nice poem.

I really loved it. Your tone of voice made it sound...matter of fact. Yes, you do wish you were a bird. For some reason, I believed it. Wonderfully read and written. :)

Nice poem, very nicely read. I like your expression, it worked really well with the tone of the poem. Great job! Btw, if you have time, please check out my poem, The Girl Inside, and all my other poems. Thanks!

I like the poem, but for some reason, I thought of Dr. Seuss... maybe because of the book "And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street"... sorry... random thought.

nice poem
