Snow Birds

Unreal cities
Under the thick blanket
Of a winter day
Canadian snow birds*
Flocks of deserters
Have flown south
Nesting in palm trees.


Note:

Canadian "snow birds" are obscenely wealthy Canadians who fly to sunny Florida for the winter.

Hi Dundus,


Unreal cities
Under the white blanket


The beginning is not poetic... I guess it could be more dramatic or sensitive...

I concur!

What do you think about the following lines:

Unreal city
Under the white mountain

Ha! Ha!

Recently, the Vatican has outlined seven new deadly sins of our time.

The new lists condemns genetic modification, carrying out experiments on humans, polluting the environment, causing social injustice, causing poverty, becoming obscenely wealthy and taking drugs.

Hi dundas,

I am not good at crits but I always like to try.

How about changing the title to "Snow Birds", more poetic?
Thanks for your note on "snow birds", I never know that.

As for the first line of the poem, I don't think it has to be dramatic. There are different ways to start a poem. Some of the poems I read starting with just one or two words like "The sun."... My experience, if it is too powerful at the beginning, it is difficult to end. Yes, my opinion again.

I am thinking about "unreal" though. Why is it unreal? Because people leave?

Just my thoughts.

Cheers,

Lake

Your points taken.

Thank you for your valuable suggestion.

Ha! Ha! You're "obscenely" funny.

Envy and obscene wealth now are enlisted among traditional and modern Seven Deadly Sins by the Vatican.

In my view, it's because these depressed cities are buried under the thick blanket of snow.

Just a thought.

Thanks for the explanation. Then I would like to see how depressed the cities are. "Unreal" is an opinion word, I think (or wrongly).

The last line, “Vacationing in sunny Florida,” makes its connotational meaning too explicit.

In order to employ the "snow bird" metaphor throughout the rest of poem, I think it would be better to rewrite the last line as follows

Nesting in the palm trees.

Your poem makes a pun on "snowbirds" which is the iconic name of the Canadian forces.
