I truly enjoyed reading your Nonet contest entry. Your artwork, choice of background color and words pair perfectly to deliver a beautiful presentation. The imagery provided by your poetry is dazzling on its own. This is a great start. Looking forward to more of your work. Best wishes in the contest.

I think your little poem captures that upbeat moment of enjoying the nature around you. I like this form, I like the swirling in effect and you had some real colorful images. Nice to hear from you again. estory

I hope it's a start that continues. We need to enjoy nature more before mankind destroys it. This is a good nonet, and you should do quite well in the contest.

You are one fine poet. This is an excellent entry for the contest and should do well, good luck. The picture is well married for the poem. I look outside my condo from my balcony, all I see are new condos being built. I envy you!

This is a fairly minor suggestion but I would suggest a comma instead of a semicolon after muskovy. And it should read: nature's show.

As to your content, this is great, very picturesque, both with your words as well as the color/image you selected for the setting. Now it seems a little bit more of a jungle/tropical picture than I imagined for the setting of your story. I don't know if I've ever seen a squirrel in the jungle. Ducks and turtles though, definitely. Thanks for the read!

    Your advice is sage. I added a comma... this is in Florida and they are everywhere. Even if it was a jungle kiddo, I am big on suspension of belief. You are my first gorilla reviewer. I honored and would love to hear from a cheetah or warthog. I will vote for you. Also, big fan of Cleveland zoo.

    Whoops what I meant to say was. Suspension of disbelief.

This seems to come from an attitude of gratitude. To appreciate thriving life around us is the best way for us to appreciate our own existence. My fervent wish is for humanity to return to nature's balance. Great job!!.John
