Very well constructed and conveys well the idea of a rooster watching over his hens!!!
I like the good rhyming in some of the verses.
Best of luck for the contest!!

Glad you found my poem a pleasant read.
I think they have a lot of character and I love their colourful plumage.
Keep safe!

'Cocks' have a funny way of showing their commitment. They get a bit testy when challenged. Your writing has no bluster. It stays true to form no matter the style. The next crow I hear will certainly remind me of this story.

They strut around thinking to be boss unaware that the owner could on a whim take an axe?. ( sigh)
I love those flaming hues.
In Gravellona Toce, where I go to do my big monthly shopping there are a couple of roosters and several hens wandering free .. they eat the grass growing around the traffic circle and near the sidewalks.
They seem to know when they can cross.
This has been going on for donkey years yet the police do nothing.

How long does a donkey live? 🥴
-
I just googled .. here are some numbers 😉
Apparently one human year = three donkey years
so a 10 year old kid makes a donkey 30 years old 🤣

Ha ha. I?ll go with the tortoise.

Let's see if after viewing this video you still go with the tortoise.

I?ll go with the donkey. You know how to tear a guy up. 😎

"Ciao, my dearly beloved Hen-rietta.
Every cock-a-doodle do that I do,
I do for the love of you.
This is my quest...
I vow to do my best.
Around and 'round the chicken-coop,
the rooster chase the weasel;
And when he catches up to him...
DROP!! goes the weasel.
I count my family as my home, my household of pretties.
And what I mean by that, my love...
Is, YOU, and our, little, BIDDIES."

I swear I was not fooling around with you writing about cocks.
I just love their personality how they strut and think they are boss
of course unaware though that their lives hang on a thread.
I like how you thought of HEN rietta that was cool but just remember I am not your Hen ( grinding teeth)
Have you though about
New Year's Resolutions to Try for 2023?
Being a good boy ??
PS: thanks for the extra shiny star ( smiles)

Henrietta Henrietta Henrietta...I swear that I believe you when you say that you were not fooling around with me writing about cocks. In fact what I'm trying to do is increase the effectiveness of what you said in your wee poem by agreeing with you. Except that my dispute of your little cute..."I'm not your hen," is..."R2." And as for hen's teeth...if you can find them...go ahead...grind them. As for what I have planned for New Years...I'll be sure to let you know. As for me being a good boy...I have no chose because I have a good girlfriend. As for the star. You are a shinny gold star. You keep your cute self safe. Cordially: me."

"Ciao, tempeste: Yes. I have thought about New Year's resolutions to try for 2023. One of them is for me to, "CONTINUE," being a good boy, who's girlfriend happens to be a good girl. And as for her phase-phrase..."I'm not your hen," I sum up my reply to that cute little remark with two letters and one number...UR2...P.S... Talk more soon. Your best friend...me"

This nonet captures the cockerel's attitude perfectly while maintaining the correct syllabic structure of the form and a close resemblance to the isosceles triangle also desirable.

A fun nonet poem! "Sunset feathers" is so apt for this rooster! What a terrific image that truly captures the words you've written "chest pumped", "stately" and "pride" are so fitting for this cock!! Some great rhymes to boot, what a hoot!

I wrote the poem a couple of months ago for the rooster contest but I missed the deadline so I reduced it to fit this nonet contest.
It took me an hour to find that pic ..I wanted it to reflect my words as much as possible . Glad you noticed that .
Thank you for the enthusiastic review! Much appreciated!
