I've never come upon such a variety poetry. I never knew there were this many. I love this concept: "
Courageously the guard will sound alarm
whenever hungry predators come near ~
protecting precious fledglings from all harm,"

Your descriptive Decuain poem is beautifully written, June. From the darkness of the morning mist, to the corageous Cardinal standing guard 'protecting precious fledglings' from harm. A loveluy read, June. Thankyou for participating.

Is that an AI image or a real picture? I've never seen a bird like that. How beautiful! Great job on this Decuain poem. I liked his description as a sentinel. thanks for sharing.

What a stately bird! I like your praise of this sentinel bird who sounds the alarm to keep everyone in his clan safe. I have noticed that some birds really know how to sing their alarms! Lovely poem!

What a beautiful poem for such a lovely bird. I'll have to find out its name. It looks as though he's guarding the nest, looking so serious and dutiful.

Well done.

Vivid imagery in this Decuain brings the scene to life. What a splendid bird! This is an interesting form; a bit like a foreshortened sonnet. You have followed the rhyme scheme and syllable count well, and there are some interesting variations on iambic rhythm to accentuate particular words and lines. Very nicely done. All good wishes, Tony

This decuain, Standing Straight and Tall, has the proper formatting and features the bold and steady guardian which defends and defeats all that may intend harm here.
