I rarely give a 6 star rating but if I never again then passing this one onto you is just fine with me. So many poems I have read, so many styles yet yours is truly a classic. Really enjoyed it. Thanks for the beautiful thoughts you have provided me. I'll keep this one in my bookcase.

I can see why this won the coveted "Poem of the Month" award. Coupled with the lovely picture, your words are entertaining and enjoyable in an excellent poetic format. I've noted some trivial comments below, but nothing that takes real credit away from the fine quality of your work.
From the nectar in the honey that sugar coats my tongue
("sugarcoats" can be written as one word.)
Wherever inclination leads I follow to incline.
(I found that repetition "inclination/to incline" a little disappointing. Perhaps a simple solution is to rephrase:
Wherever inclination leads I follow my incline.)
I listen for a drop of rain, I see, I smell ,I touch!
(... smell, I touch! [Spacing corrected.])

This is the best poem I have read in a long time. It speaks so tenderly of the life all around is, touching us both physically and mentally. Smelling, touching, tasting, seeing and hearing nature's wonders set your imagination spinning, as it should all of us who live on this wonderous planet. I know why you won the contest. Exceptional work such as this should be rewarded with the highest of honors. Congratulations and blessings, Linda

I like the use of xylophone. Don't see that word used very often. Knew someone who played! You must live in my backyard. I love nature. As I read your winning poem I was there by the lake watching the heron, the ducks and curlews. Turtles too. I kind of climbed into it. Spotted a Roseate Spoonbill today. Reported sighting to USGS they are tracking them. What a beauty. I love nature and your poem created the image I see every morning when I have my first cup of coffee feeding my lake friends. Great poem Congrats!!! joan marie

This is absolutely beautiful. You do a lovely job of conjuring up images with your words of description. I feel like I am actually there soaking up all of nature's wonders that you describe so delightfully.

Beautiful poem. usually a find poems that rhyme devoid of imagery. But not this poem. There is so much to see in your poem. You have created a world with so much sensory information. It is lovely. I expected something different for the last line though. I am not sure what, but something more in line with the rest of the poem with the concrete imagery, or maybe it just read stiffly for me.
But that is just my opinion/ preference _ I am no expert!

I so very envy how alive your senses are, through which you live so passionately in your writing. The nature proses that you have been inspired to write down is vivid and scenic, and rhyme wonderfully.
Congrats on being nominated.

Hello, Helvi2.
I accessed your poem from the voting booth.
Very nicely presented visually. So far you have offered the best visual presentation in the finalist of this contest. That crane is great.
The poem is well done, too. However, you missed a period on the end of the last line of the 2nd. stanza after "know" and I noticed. Ir is that from the format in the poetry program?
I learned the hard way with my poem, The Angel of Death Smiled, that lines need to be short here.
I still like the visual painting your poem offers not to dock you for that lost period.
It is poetic and quite lovely as I contemplate each line with a sigh of admiration for your grace with words.
Congratulations! This is really top notch work.
Rosy
Congratulations! I knew that you had the best one. Rosy
