This is a very flowing poem using internal rhyme that describes the beauty and peace nature brings us and intertwines it with the peace and hope we can bring to ourselves and others by giving.
Congrats of placing second in the contest. Keep writing

Comment from Liberty Justice
What a darling little bird, and such an amazing poem about love and giving. I believe pets bless our lives, and that we receive blessings when we care for animals properly--feed them, give shelter, and fresh water. BEAUTIFUL! Truly, liberty justice

Comment from Pantygynt
This is a very pleasant ABC poem. An idea came to mind as I read the first line: why not change basking to busking, a word that implies solo singing in a public? Just a thought.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written ABC poem. When we look around us there are many simple things we can find to enjoy. The birds on a fresh morning, the first rays of the sun and the multi-color rainbow.

Comment from rama devi
I enjoyed this a lot! Musical and visually lovely too. Excellent internal rhyming. Excellent flow with the long lines. I especially enjoyed the first line with its alliteration of S, B and W:
Ahh, the sweet singing sound of a basking bird, in tune with the wind to be vibrantly heard.
Inspiring line (LOVE IT!):
Charitable acts of thoughtful giving making me humble and appreciate living.
I like the personificaiton of the rainbow arc.
the last line has a cliche (counting lucky stars) which weakens it slightly. Further, I recommend a comma (it is grammatical when a conjunction (AND) is followed by an independent clause:
Each day I count my lucky stars...I do, because life is simple(,) and the pleasures are too.
This should prove a strong contender. Lovely presentation, uplifting message, eloquent delivery. bravo and good luck
Warmly, rd

Pam, thank you so very much for your most encouraging review and your sparkly six stars. I'm very grateful and appreciate your comment on the last line - I have tweaked it as it wasn't 100% sitting fine with me. Thank you again. ~DD

You are very welcome and deserving of the stars, review, and comment on the last line. It is better, and your review now reflects that. Good luck!
