Since I don't know the first thing about poetry, I just have to read and enjoy yours and all those who so masterfully use all the tools to keep me entertained. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Yvonne,
I guess it's that time of year, at least down where you're living. I heard some Junkos singing today, the first time I've heard them this year. I guess everyone is in the mood for love now. I love the spring. We still have snow on the ground, but it's melting quickly now. Thanks for sharing this gal.
Have a blessed evening.

Thank you. Yes, lots of things are blooming out here. That's the nice part, but after that, it gets brutally hot and humid. I hate summer!
Comment from Bill Schott
This lento, Cleaning the Nest, has the proper formatting and gives the preparation new a new family the familiar spin we understand of a mother getting her house in order. Nice.

Comment from LateBloomer
Hi Yvonne, this is such a sweet and happy poem, and your love of nature shines through. I especially liked:
Sweeping what's no longer wanted,
keeping all the sticks I found.
(After watching the eagle's nest, I've learned so much about birds and nesting. The nest has to be just perfect.)
Silky rhyming. Well-chosen photo. A pleasure to read. This poem made me smile. Xo. Margaret

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I just loved this one! It was just lovely. The picture has given you a fabulous poem, Yvonne, the way the bird is doing her spring cleaning ready for her chicks to be born. I love the words you've written, the bird truly is cleaning her home. The picture is so cute! I just loved the whole presentation, picture and poem. Very well done, my clever SATP. Lots of love, Sandra xx

You did a great job with the rhyming in this poem. It can often be difficult to rhyme at the end of sentences but to go a step farther and rhyme the words at the start of sentences as well is quite a feat! Well done Yvonne! It's a six in my opinion! Nancy:) xxx

Hi Yvonne!
You did a great job on your double Lento. I thought all of your rhymes worked very well. I loved the little brother's busting voice like bagpipe's skirls.
I will try one of these soon! Thanks for keeping Potlatch alive!

Hi Yvonne
how delightful and you create a lovely image of the mother bird fixing the nest for her babies. Beautifully worded and written.
Well done .
I did question Jan re the Lento only having 2 quatrains, but I see you have 4 so not sure how the lento is worked out
never the less I enjoyed your poem
Cheers Chris
