You succeeded very well in writing a pretty little rhyming poem without the use of the letter S. I would have enjoyed it even if I didn't realize that there was no S.

Hello author,

I enjoyed this poem and its message. Like the bird that was never let it, many have love all around them, but never let it and sadly never experiences its sweet melody.

A soft, but thought-provoking poem.

Regards, LateBloomer

The best of luck in the contest. You really made me chuckle. I love watching the birds. And I have two cats who would just love if I invited a few in. Though the birds would not appreciate it. A very enjoyable read.

    I'm so happy that you got a chuckle out of this little poem. It was a bit challenging to write two verses with no 's' anywhere, but if you liked it, I'm glad I made the effort. : ) Thank you for your review.

I like his because...Your poem is so visual one can see your little bird. A nice and visual piece concise and quite emotional, with a very good balance. The rhythm of this piece captures the tension of the imagery in its entirety. A well put together poem that is very creative.
