What a wonderful sonnet, Dawn!! :) Of course the birds and squirrels at our 6 feeders and large bird bath that gets freshened each morning would totally agree as well! ;) ;) Thanx for sharing, my Lady, and Happy New Year! :) Yvette

Absolutely. The little critters get forgotten too often. God wants us to take care of them. Winter is especially hard for them. Good meter and rhyme. Love the picture.

This is a very sweet poem you have penned about all God's creatures. You used very good descriptive words and very lovely imagery. I love to do things to help the little birds and animals outside when i can. Thanks for sharing. love and blessings, Teri

I like the main point of this poem, and that is to be a bit kinder to animal friends near and far, mainly those outside. My dilemma is that we have cats, so I don't want to put up a bird feeder. And a feral cat, although much like a domestic cat, is still happier outside while the temperature is above 34 or 35. I love the intrinsic hope in these two lines: in spring there'll be a whole new crop
to bless us with their song and games.
I think I might make 'song' plural to parallel the plural 'games.' So 'songs and games.' Nice share.

    Thank you. :) I'm glad you enjoyed it. The organization I support would disagree with you about feral cats being happier outdoors though -- disease, injury -- a plethora of unhappy incidents that happen to them sadly.
    Also, to make "song" into "songs" wouldn't be grammatically correct. -- e.g. "birdsong" refers to all birds' singing. But I appreciate your attempt -- it's always nice to know someone who reviews for you has your back. Thanks again. :)

I enjoyed reading your well-written poem, Dawn. Great job on the smooth flow, the great rhymes, the awesome image, and your articulate message. You are right about continuing to feed the little birds and animals. Winter is a hard time for them, but Spring brings babies. So they need just as much then. Thanks for sharing and caring. Respectfully with Love, Jan

We put up a bird feeder a few months ago and were richly rewarded; so we added a nectar feeder for the hummingbirds. The only creature we don't attract is the squirrel. Thank you for reminding us with your rhymed sonnet and pictures that we are stewards. Here's to a peaceful New Year- Joan
