Hi Pam,

I love that picture of the chickens and blue rooster :) It gives your poem and message a modern feel, and a fun feel. I didn't know there were such things as blue roosters. You'd probably call it Blue Rooster Stew, since he's a rooster? This is a fun poem. Well done!

Thank you, Joy for seeing the humor in this. It was meant that way. I did not know there were blue roosters until I saw a white rooster with a blue comb. Then, I saw a rooster with the blue plumage, so I combined them. The hens are his harem. Lol. Thank you for the high rating as well

This is a well written poem about roosters. I don't know if there is a type that is called blue, but, I've seen many beautiful roasters. They do strut around like they are the stuff of legend though. You did an excellent job describing them. I enjoyed reading this. Well done.

Hello, :)
Glad you didn't make chicken stew. But good rhyming! Love it when you find the word that is perfect for the rhyme and the poem. :D
Have a great day.

What a delightful, lighthearted poem to read.

I love the painting, and glad to know you didn't cook Big Blue. I once had a rooster that crowed every morning, and we got lots of phone calls about that. lol

Thank you, da mommy for your lovely teview and high rating. We had chickens foe awhile when I was a kid. The rooster killed all of the chicks. He was not blue, but roosters can be blue. I saw one somewhere once with the blue comb. Then, I saw another one with blue plumage. I just decided to paint one that had both. Take care

I used to keep hens so I know how you feel. In the summer, around three o'clock in the morning he'd start up. But he kept the harem laying and that was the main thing. I never ha a blue one though neither actually or figuratively speaking. As it gets lighter sometimes they change the tune or at least the rhythm of the crowing. Abit like this really, starting of with anapaest and moving to iambic in the third quatrain.

Loved the humor and the remembrance of growing up on a farm and hearing the morning call of the roosters. Well done and it brought a smile.

Thank you, zekezirmann for your nice review and high rating. We had chickens. The rooster would kill all of the chicks. We had to cage the hens and chicks to protect the chicks from the rooster. Thank you so much for the six stars. I am honored. Did not see that until now. Take care

Hello Pam,
Your poem is delightfully witty and charming evening if its subject matter is annoying! I don't believe I have ever witness a blue rooster, but the one in your artwork surely has a commanding presence. When our son was five years old, he painted a picture of a rooster that I cherish even today - twenty-five years later.
Again, a well-crafted poem.

Pamusart, this is a fun little ditty of a poem. Blue rooster crowing every morning would do my head in after a while too I think. I like my sleep and not to be roused before I'm due.

"It it stays on me, my future looks dim" - slight typo in this line....It it...do you mean If it?

This was an enjoyable and entertaining read. Thanks for sharing. ~DD

You almost made it to the sonnet, but the rhyming I'd ababcdcdefefgg and it was in couplet. Rhyming, you're progressing very quickly, the crafting of the evenness in the narrative is very good, the language choice is both articulate both well delivered, you'll be doing all sorts of forms before long, well done Pamela. Good job, blessings, Roy

Thank you, Roy for your lovely review and rating and encouragement. Oh I write
In a certain form it is accidental. What I pay attention is the cadence and the number of syllables. I try to make each half line the same number of characters with the same cadence. So - -/- -/. Usually. soft soft hard soft soft hard. Or the occasional soft hard combined with the soft soft hard. My half lined are generally five or six syllables and a whole line 20-21 syllables. If the first line has 14 characters I will try to make all the lines the same cadence and syllables. Believe me, it is just luck

That's why it's.challenging to change what comes naturally Pamela, I'm comfortable with rhyme and meter, free verse is a challenge, but I've written a few.. Good job
