Fluttering Feathered Friends
Featherdown floating away on the breeze.12 total reviews

Loved your poem and the presentation of the blue on yellow with patterned picture. Is a cherry-plum a hybrid or two trees grafted together? Enjoyed the busy flitting at the beginning and the gentle slow floating down of the feather at the end.

Thank you very much for your review. The tree is a plum tree but the ripened fruit is still small, like cherries. The flesh is yellowish, the skin reddens. Not such a sweet fruit for casual eating but makes superb pickles and chutneys. (Although the wood pigeons try to beat me to the fruit first. They can strip the tree of its fruit in a matter of days.)

No one loves--or writes about--birds more than I. This nonet describes them in the spring when they seem to be everywhere in newly-blossomed trees. Your use of alliteration truly enhances the mood of gaiety they bring. Rod

Thanks for your review Rod. I do love watching the birds in my garden... so lively and uplifting.
I shall look at some of your work to see what you have to say about them.

Hi Lisa. Please prowl through my Portfolio. My most recent poem about birds is ? All Feathered friends Are Welcome.? Rod

Hi Rod... I'd forgotten that I did review your "Al feathered friends are welcome" poem... we share a similar love of our feathered neighbours.
