Cowardice

I found these feathers and thought Yippee a quick easy blip. Wrong.
Two hours, a tantrum, and several tears later here it is. I shall return at a later date and improve.
White feathers always bring to mind those first world war soldiers shot at dawn for "cowardice". Recently pardoned , four of them were 17 years old and one can only imagine the things they must have endured.
On a lighter note I believe Fenner Brockway once declared he had received enough white feathers to make a fan ! I like his humour.
PS. Please note frame idea cribbed from Leonine.
