Superb even.
On the level of RG Star,
maybe even me!

Oops, self-aggrandizement
is a no-no. Sorry.

What were we talking about?
Oh, yeah, you.

Diane, you are aware I never review, right?
Well, this just floored me.
I mean it. Can I rave a bit more?
Of course I can. I rave every day,
about something.

I'm going to bookcase this.
In case I forget how to write,
think, live. Ya know?

    Oh, Doug!
    What a wonderful review to receive after a rather long and arduous day...
    This particular poem was such a joy to pen... No walking anywhere these past two days = ice storm. Michiganders refer to the kind of weather we are experiencing as "Third Winter." It follows after the "First Fake Spring!" :)
    So very pleased my words and work resonated with you. I am incredibly honored that you chose to bookmark this poem as well.
    Smiles all around!

    Thank you, Doug!

How neat to hear the bird sounds. My cats came running when they heard them. Lovely pictures to accompany your poem, too. I love your description of the blue jay. You beautifully describe spring unfolding, with the turtles and does. I can understand your desire to visit this peaceful place often, and never mind the blue jay. Maybe, as you write, he doesn't like uninvited visitors. Bringing food sounds like a good idea. It'll show that you come in peace and don't mean to disturb anything. Lovely work.

I loved this! I have to say I actually got up from my chair and looked out my window for this unusual sounding bird, lol. I must sound daft, but I have to get someone else to make fun of me beside myself. This is to no surprise beautiful and unusual. Thank you for the intro to sound embedded poetry. I won't get up next time. lol

Using all the poet's tools, you've created a beautiful oasis in nature, free from the problems that drag down the soul. I love the beautiful pictures you created, as well as the bossy bird. This was a refreshing read in many ways!

I envy you, that you can go out and get close to nature. I used to be an avid bird watcher, sadly my two bad knees keep me from it now. Thats why I love your descriptive poem, that brings me to nature again. Thank you.

The sounds of the pond are soothing. They make me think I'm there, though I'm really in a desert area. Your picture plus sound interspersed with text are beautiful. The formatting of the lines is super. I like each section. When I came to the end of one, and another picture appeared, I had time to reflect on what I'd just read. All the images work well in their place. I can't pick one over the others, but I like the turtles and the daffodils a lot. Your words prove the calming experience one needs and finds amongst nature. You are lucky to have such a beautiful place to decompress. My desert area has many places on the other end of your spectrum.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

What a lovely day out to Miller's Pond you shared with us, Diane. With the sights, words and sounds of the birds chirping in the background, a reader couldn't help but be charmed. It was as if I was with you, feeling the joys that felt. Beautiful. Well done. :)) Sandra xx
