Love your poem. You did a great job. The flow of your rhyme and descriptive words made me smile. I have several blue bird houses in my yard. They are my favorite.

What a beautiful picture. I like the blue birds. Do you write the poem after you pick the picture or you chose the picture after The poem.

Your poem Is full of energetic life. I can hear the birds singing too.

Thanks for sharing

A perfect nonet with nine lines beginning with one syllable increasing one
each line with nine syllables on the last line. I like the subject and the
alliteration in the poem.

Hello Author,
This is a very sweet and clever Nonet. I love that you chose Bluebirds as your subject. This time of year, people are starting to look forward to a hint of spring in some places. I expect that people in the middle states will be happy to read about Bluebirds. ;) Here today, on the Canadian border in New England, it's in the high 40's, it's rained, and the grass is looking pretty green. We had a little snow earlier in the week, but it's gone now.

Surprisingly your form came out in an almost perfect triangle! That's amazing! These don't always do that. Letters aren't always the right size to make that happen. You did a great job with that!
Happy New Year!
Susan :)

This is really nice and it flows so well. Honestly, I think these type of poems are hard to write, but this one is done exceptionally well. In addition, I love birds so much, I think they are delicate yet strong and amazing. Best of luck in the contest.

This is a very well done nonet about a subject near and dear to your heart. Isn't it interesting how such small things can have such a charming effect on us? It often goes back to a pleasant memory from our youth. Whenever I smell a clipped boxwood hedge, I'm immediately transported back in time to a pleasurable experience I had at summer day camp in my youth.
Very nice job.

I zealously zest to see if bluebirds nest near me. This is a lovely way to end this animal nonet. I also love bluebirds actually all birds I love to watch as they fly up in the sky. And I love animals generally as I love all of nature and the beasts and creatures who live on our planet. Thank you for showing us this lovely way of viewing our planet earth.
Jesse

Great poem. Fantastic imagery. I like it. Thankyou for sharing your poem. Are the bluebirds jumping or is it you jumping for joy? Nice poem to read to start my day. Thankyou.
