This is fantastic. I love Cardinals. I once had one hit a window, so I picked him up until he woke up all wobbly and flew off INSIDE. I had to chase the rascal out with a broom. It was so funny. I even got to pet him. He was zonked out, stone cold. Hope you're okay. I am missing you, Ms. Angel. Take care.

Angel, I feel so left out. I have had any messages from you and I am lost (hint of a smile please). I like this poem because I can see the steps taken in my own life in the words. It also helps that my favorite bird is the Cardinal so you have me. I like the way that the patience of the bird and the patience in the poem becomes a strength. The final line "I" shows that power where beauty has the ability to affect without movement. A great theme to expand on.

This nonet seems to have it all together with correct syllable count and an additional rhyme scheme included. It kind of comes to thud at the end with the non sequitur "I".

A poem that advertize itself by an imposing art photo. I love the sweet alluring words you seamed together to achieve this fine nonet.

Bravo, a nonet that rhymes! It was so much nicer and showed you put effort into an attractive poem to compliment the beautiful bird you were writing about. Lovely description of the bird. Lovely pic, too. Enjoyable read. Good luck in the contest. faye

To the author or Cardinal's Song. You have written a lovely poem for the contest entry. The bird is beautiful, but way tooooo large. He's frightening!! Ha. Carole
