Ah Brooke, you are the quintessential wordsmith. Setting out ... voluntarily! ...to write with the 'anchor' of the alphabet is to be applauded and admired. Can hear the zither! Tom x

Wow, this is one of those that I didn't understand a thing you wrote. I am however not so dumb that I can't tell that it is well written and for those who know all of those big words, it was perfect. I mean, you didn't even have an 'a,' or a 'the,' in this.
Skipping all the things left, after I left off the big words, I read: 'lusty lyricist, nature's passionate radiant soprano vocalist with a yellow breast.' But then, that's just me. lol

stunning presentation; think this should be two words: "giddygaily,"
well done; uplifting both in color and content; minor correction; well done!

giddygaily was my own little compound word - the influence of ee cummings showing through :-) thanks for a most kind review :-)

You are very welcome for the review :-)

Beautiful image selection. Good presentation and pleasing color scheme. The bright yellow, like the bird's chest and belly, is attention grabbing. Another great display of your extensive vocabulary and skill at finding just the right word. Excellent.

I was sooooooo lucky they had a meadowlark on fan art - I was prepared to accept another bird if necessary :-) thank you for your kind compliments :-)

Hi pearl. This is an exquisite piece of poetry in which you have cleverly mamnaged to use the letters of the alphabet to begin your words. I love Margaret's nature poetry as it is so vividly descriptive isn't it? well done

Comment from Kingsland
you have some excellent language usage in this well written verse. This was a kind of unusual piece of poetic writing, but I liked it. This was my pleasure to have read and reviewed it... John

Comment from CRIMSOND
The poem did not really flow for me. It was a bit difficult to read and follow. I did not feel the passion for the songbird coming through. Good wording though.

Ok, i shall give you a more "human' review.It never came across my mind that a yellow chested bird could be so much of a songstress! Or that it could be conveyed in such a charming chirping poem!

Comment from Lady & Louis
What a delightful combination of nature and music you have here, Brooke! "Lusty lute-voiced lyricist" and "yellow-breasted zither" particularly struck me. I have no idea what a meadowlark sounds like, we don't have them out here.
Did you invent "giddygaily" for this? I love the word, but it doesn't turn up on a quick Google, so I wondered ...

Yes, giddygaily is my compound word of course, giddy and gaily both really exist :-) glad you enjoyed the poem - are you a fan of Margaret's? thanks for the great review!
-
Yes, I know giddy and gaily are their own words, of course, and I like the compound. It sounds like a term for a kitten having a wonderful time playing ... more flattering than flibbertigibbert. But no, I'm not one of Margaret's fans.
Nighters - time for me to hit the sack!
