I can see this will be a vey informative month as you offer poetry about birds, and give added notes. This is a lovely introduction - and I have to say I have never thought previously about birds' similarity with and difference from humans.
Well done!

Helen, This is a very well written Kyrielle Sonnet about birds. You used great descriptive words and very good imagery from the artwork you chose. I love to read about birds and look at pictures of them. They are so amazing! love and blessings, Teri

Comment from Jasmine Girl
Now I know it will take longer for you to write a poem because you do research. I have learned so much from your poem and the lovely art piece. I've also learnt that birdies and human have two things in common. We all have backbones and we are warm-blooded.
Excellent.

Comment from judiverse
Great idea for the National Poetry Month contest. It will keep you busy, and you won't lack for subjects. I like the strategy of asking questions. You note some similarities between birds and humans. Great use of repeating lines. However, you have a grammar problem in "that's just like me. I know it would throw your meter off to use that're. The rest of the poem isn't in colloquial style. Best wishes for your writing for the contest. It is a challenge. judi

You're very welcome. The obvious choice would screw up your meter. judi

I have never thought about this, though I think that some of our ideas for
planes came from studying the flight of birds, a very interesting read, very well written****kahpot

Comment from Cecilia A Heiskary
Helen,
This is a beautiful poem. I like that you are exploring birds and comparing them humans. Who would think we are alike even though we are different.
Well done

Comment from Iza Deleanu
Loved this part, as I found lots of facts that I didn't know about the birds, pardon my ignoranceL:) "You have a backbone - so have I
You all have wings but some can't fly
With beaks for food on land or sea
Could you have traits that's found in me?
Why are all birdies called the same?
Could you have traits that's found in me?"

Comment from Gloria ....
Excellent kyrielle. I guess I knew we are a lot like birds but I just thought perhaps in different ways. Rhetorical perhaps.
A most entertaining poem for the NaPo. :)

Comment from June Sargent
I would like to believe I have something in common with these graceful creatures. I have dreams about flying free. I do know they have been linked to dinosaurs. I probably have the grace of a dinosaur. Lol

Well, birds are like dinosaurs and ducks are very awkward flyers. But I think we will fly in Heaven ! Thanks so much, June! Hugs!
Comment from Carol Clark2
I love the visuals you included, especially the bottom one. It really points out the similarity of bone structure between birds and humans. I like your Kyrielle Sonnet; you used good rhymes, and the repeated question is good. One poem done, good job!
