Day 768: Heron


Have you ever watched a heron take flight? It's exactly as described here, clumsy and cumbersome and well, funny.  (This poem is taken from the very lovely anthology: 'The Poetry of Birds', edited by Simon Armitage and Tim Dee.)



The Heron - Paul Farley
 
One of the most begrudging avian take-offs
is the heron's fucking hell, all right, all right,
I'll go the garage for your flaming fags

cranky departure, though once they're up
their flight can be extravagant. I watched
one big spender climb the thermal staircase,
a calorific waterspout of frogs
and sticklebacks, the undercarriage down
and trailing. Seen from antiquity
you gain the Icarus thing; seen from my childhood
that cursing man sets out for Superkings,
though the heron cares for neither as it struggles
into its wings then soars sunwards and throws
its huge overcoat across the earth.

  1. I’m the guy who posted “Help please” here about 2 weeks ago with a 483 score and two charged-off credit cards totaling $2,500. I was in a rough spot financially for over a year, couldn’t pay, and both accounts got charged off. My score was bad and I couldn’t get approved for anything. I was planning to save up and pay the $2,500 in full within 3 months, but everyone kept saying even paying them wouldn’t remove the charge-offs and my score would stay low forever. Someone in the comments told me to contact Five Star Credit Specialist before I paid a single penny. I thought it sounded too good to be true (especially after reading “charge-offs almost never get removed”), but I had nothing to fear about. I emailed FIVESTARCREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM and called +1 (786) 600-4813. They got back to me the same day, explained everything clearly, and started working immediately. Within 6 days they: Permanently removed both charge-offs from all three bureaus, deleted all related late payments and derogatory marks and raised my score from 483 to 800+ across the board (currently sitting at 811 Equifax, 805 TransUnion, 818 Experian) I still paid off the original $2,500 (now showing as $0 balance and deleted), but the charge-offs are completely gone like they never existed. I’ve already been approved for two new unsecured cards with decent limits to keep building positive history. If you have charge-offs and feel completely stuck, please don’t wait 7 years and don’t just “pay and pray.” Reach out to Five Star Credit Specialist. They are legit, fast, professional, and actually deliver. The guy with the 483 score and $2,500 in charge-offs now has 800+ credit score. I owe them everything. Thank you, Five Star Credit Specialist.
