Simply put, this is beautiful.
It has left me breathless.
What a gorgeous poem.
but splendor does not give it life,
nor flight can beauty bring.
What else can i say.

Comment from bard owl
It is so true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I see you have chosen the blue-loving a bower bird for art to represent your words. How appropriate. What it takes to make something beautiful is sometimes a mystery to onlookers. This poem reminds me of something that Emily Dickinson might write. Excellent work. Blessings, Linda

Another great poem that truly makes you think. I love to find feathers of the wild birds. It is neat to really look at them up close. Great job.

Hi Brooke....you have used my favorite scheme and that is the 8/6 rhyme. It is so musical when well done and always makes me read the poem more than once just to enjoy the rhyming words. Love the picture and the poem....well done....blessings....chey

Chey, I also like 8/6 - it has such a musical flow to it. Thanks so much, Brooke
Comment from Amicus
This is a well crafted little poem that explores the nature of beauty. The imagery is exquisite and the rhythm and rhyme well chosen to convey the message here that mere physical loveliness is not the quintessential aspect of true beauty. The poem suggests that beauty is in the fusion of form and function,of outer aspects and inner energy, of the plumage and the life force of the bird in flight.
I love the beauty of this little poem.

Hi Adewpearl,
I like your poem, it is well constructed and a pleasure to read. The imagery is splendid and the rhyming consistent. The artwork and presentation enhances the poem. I didn't notice any spags and have no suggestions for improving it! Great job! sugarbear

Thanks Brooke! I am new, and just reserved a spot for the haiku contest for volcano that is due tomorrow. I looked through the site info and realize I need a few bucks to promote it at least a little so.... I plan to post a little later tonight. Thank you again for your warm welcome.

You always nail your message, Brooke. This is short, not simple, says what you want to say and does it in perfect meter and rhyme.
