The Elephant & The Rope
The Elephant and the Rope "As my friend was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from the ropes they were tied to but for some reason, they did not. My friend saw a trainer nearby and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away.

Beautiful and powerful words
I really enjoyed the imagery in Flight Path—there's a quiet elegance to the way you guide the reader through the poem, almost like we're drifting alongside the subject. The rhythm feels natural, yet deliberate, much like the controlled chaos of a bird riding the wind. I also appreciated the deeper layers of meaning—whether about freedom, fate, or the inevitable pull of nature. Beautifully done!
