I really liked this poem with its light and airy feeling. It makes me want to Frango Land where everything works just right for man and beast and nature freaks. florrie

Comment from adewpearl
excellent syllable count and structure for the minute poem and excellent use of consistent iambic meter, which is sadly missing in several of the entries
I always love your nonsense poems and this is not exception with your delightful coined words
excellent alliteration and assonance in gruesome gloop
A fun minute poem :-) Brooke

Not sure I 'get this'? Not knowing what a squirdle bird is, or an azure tree? I'm understanding this is all in fun- with that in mind, it is a cute and well-presented poem. Best of luck in the contest. Betty

I am giving you a six star rating because you are the first one in this contest to use the strict iambic meter. Just for that you have made my day :) Excellent syllables and rhymes. Best wishes to you in this contest !

Thanks, Joy - I never have any trouble with meter - in fact it comes so easily I always assumed anyone could do it - it comes as a revelation that some people can't 'hear' it.

This bit of fantasy is fun. Most noticeable to me is that the poem uses iambic meter correctly (many other entries did not follow contest rules on meter). Good luck to you, Jeanie Mercer

Comment from country ranch writer
cute as can be doing the loop the loop
around the azure tree.
the bird knows she will not hurt her
little ones as she plays. Near by the blue
trees grow. She likes to jog across the bog. It must be fun
to watch her there playing her tricks along the way. At least she didn't get stuck in the gloop especially it being two feet deep

A good effort. The thoughts have been put across quite well in spite of the limited scope of the chosen structure and rhyme-scheme. Quite engaging..fairly good attempt.
