I thank you for introducing me to a bird I've not heard of before, or, being bird illiterate, probably categorized it as a sparrow. She is quite cute and I understand her frustration with having pigeons as chaperones.
Smiles, Carol

What a lovely poem. I liked the imagery used in this poem. It's cute that she is looking for a mate and that the pigeons around her are acting like chaperones. I see this is for a contest. I wish you the best of luck. This was an enjoyable read.

You bring in words the miracle overlooked of the sheen, and softness of the shiny birds that if ever held stimulates nerves within that sooth not the person but the soul as well.

Such a cute poem about a bird. I truly enjoyed reading about the bird which I have never heard of before, but it was a very amusing poem. The photo worked perfect too. Keep up the great work!

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
A wonderfully clear picture that brings the bird vividly to the reader! I'm not familiar with this bird so your free verse was a very welcome and informative accompaniment to the visual. I enjoyed the colourful descriptive detail and the way you didn't isolate her from the other birds which coo their encouragement to her. My only suggestion is that breaking this into stanzas would provide a more pleasing and readable presentation as there is much to absorb in your excellent poem. Well done and good luck, Crystie:) Take care Debbie

Thank you for your review and suggestion. For some reason I keep losing my stanza breaks when I cut and paste, even when I try to use double and triple spacing. Guess I'll have to go back to typing every single letter here from now on.

I have never heard of this bird before and I was delighted to learn about its habits, it is so cute. Although pigeon is lazy her takes the time to chaperon her. I loved your well chosen words in this skilful and endearing poem Christie, love Dolly x x x

Comment from Jessica Wheeler
I love the way you contrast the lively, hopeful, black phoebe with the calm, subdued pigeons! The juxtaposition is effective and creative. The mention of past winters in Mexico adds a lovely touch of nostalgia. Beautiful!

Comment from ESOSTINE
You penned a very descriptive poem of the life of the phoebe. I love the flow of the poem and how it creatively weaves into the connection with pigeons, its environment and her male species. Thanks so much for sharing your creative world. I learnt a new word from your poem, 'strafe'. Well done, dear Crystie.
