Hello,

If you could answer the following it would help me a lot.

The criticism of the following is quite predictable.


Oooh, my poor orchid.
Poor MyTho,
river boats scorched on their pretty prows
with the shadows of four deep Eagles.


I would expect the word “deep” to be objected to: Eagles can not be deep, etc. But I am constantly drawn to a use of such unreal phrasings.

Also, I would like to see an eagle clinching its teeth, or raising its feather cuffed fist.

How can I justify this?

Thanks, Ted
