I’m a shrink and a published poet by a UK literary imprint. I thought I’d try out Urbis by asking for feedback on these first draft of this short poem – swan.
I am not certain every word is perfect sonically or rhythmically but I’m told it’s very close. So, fellow poets – your comments please and, in advance,
Thank you.
M.Pfeiffer.

Patrician swan, In holy diamond clothing, Cleaves water disdainfully; As I flounder, mortal , below his notice, beneath his elegance. Angels, speak to my swan for me, That I am ready ; finished here and done So He might raise That white and silvered piping, Make His clarion call, And tell my time has come.

Patrician swan, In holy diamond clothing, Cleaving water lake disdainfully ; I am not worth his notice. Angels, speak to my swan for me, That one day he will raise That white and silvered piping, To make his clarion call, And tell my time has come.

I was very moved ; although I can think of one or two improvements, this work is very good. I do hope your boy's psyche can mitigate/ heal and that both of your lives improve. You are courageous, and courage is rarer than gold. Apologies but due to a bereavement I am unable to review in more detail at present. In time I hope to do that. Pfeiffer.
