Comment from roserock
I find nothing wrong with this poem. You have great description, that I can identify with. We have sparrows amongst a variety of birds that fly around here. I enjoyed this piece very much.
If I may, I think maybe this should be listed under poetry instead of General Fiction.
Either way, it was enjoyable:)

I accidentally listed it under general fiction and do not know how to change it. Thanks for a great review. Elaine

Birds are fascinating creatures. They come in so many sizes and colors. Both graceful and unique.

What a lovely free-verse tribute to this sparrow and the comforting presence he is in the speaker's life - lovely descriptive detail and a serene, gracious mood. Brooke

It's nice to see someone write about the sparrow for a change. So many verses written about the more colorful birds; few written about sparrows (except in the Bible). They congregate under my snow-laden bushes in winter; I enjoy having them here.

Yes, I too enjoy having the sparrows around. I like your point about the more colorful birds getting all the attention. You have given me some writing ideas. Thanks again. Elaine
