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. :)

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
