What a cutie... that must be hard to be beautiful dudes or dudettes and then poof they lose their distinctive crown feathers and their strut becomes withdrawn and self-conscious. This is a fun piece I always enjoy reading about creatures and I have become especially fond of ducks... di

I like this ode to the crescent cormorant. The notes make it clear how special these creatures are. I learned something new today. I also like your mastery of the traditional sonnet form.

On islands or in flooded timber patches, he builds stick nests high in the trees. Cormorants eagerly anticipate the opportunity to display their crests each spring. This is a great tribute. A real written story in a poem. Once a year, they shine. Thank you for such a great post. Good Luck.

Great picture of the cormorant and well-written verse to describe. That is interesting that their crest only appears in the spring. Amazing how our Lord created each species of bird and animal with different features.

Excellent rhyme meter and flow in this charming poem.

The picture displays the bird's white crest to advantage..

Birds are endlessly fascinating. Whether it's the seasonal crown of the cormorant or the vivid plumage of macaws, or the intelligence of crows, or the stamina of migrating flocks, I'm left awestruck.

Thanks for sharing

Stay safe and blessed

Julia

Hello EM,
A wonderful poem to honor the cormorant.
It certainly looks very regal in the photograph
with that splendid crown, but also with that intricate pattern
on its wings and red feathers surrounding blue eyes.
Nicely done.
Best wishes.
Robert

A Crest of Spring
by Eternal Muse

I never have seen a Cormorant bird. Your poem has outstanding imagery. The presentation is awesome too. I like their spring fashion crest. LoL I wonder if it has something to do with mating.

Nice metaphor...
The queen of seasons has proclaimed its crown!
