This was a bit of a page turner. For n epic, this poem was very easy to read. I liked the intermittent use of rhyme and felt that it added to the metaphor of flight and movement. It's a good write. Congratulations on the selection. Well deserved.

Thank you very much for this comment, Moe. I know you have a hard time with longer pieces, so this means a lot coming from you in particular.
I think part of it is that those who write longer pieces tend to go not just for longer lines, but also longer sentences. A paragraph-long sentence is hard to read, and doubly so when split along multiple lines and using much imagery. Whereas this piece is given mostly to shorter lines.
And thank you for the well wishes and compliments :)
