Exceptional

I loved this poem! I loved the last two lines...
quest ever for survival
'neath the weight of snow

Very well written! So worth the six stars! Good luck in the contest

Excellent

Delightful imagery of both verse and photo, especially the outstanding close up of your cardinal pair! It is always a great surprise when we see a cardinal in the wintertime (-:

Ahh, this piece makes me sad, like they have such a hard life... quest ever for survival 'neath the weight... I've been seeing a lot of the "abbreviated" words ('neath) lately in my reads and I just realized I never really think to do that much at all when I write. Huh. Lol, just thinking "out loud" :) They are such pretty birds, aren't they? Lovely picture you've chosen. Thank you for promoting your perfectly counted piece. Good luck!

I really like the way it's one complete sentence that you've used to convey your poem. This makes it flow smoothly. I love the picture you've chosen to go with it. Best of wishes in the contest as I like it just the way it is.

This is a great 5-7-5 poem. It is a beautiful illustration you have chosen. I think this is one of the best 3 line poems I have read today. I hope you do well in the contest.

A very well-written 5-7-5 poem about the cardinals that seem to have a good time despite the layer of snow right behind their claws on the branch where they are sitting.
