Wow, you make this complicated form look so easy! And I love the gentle meter and the message of how God provides even in the darkest times even for the little birds.

Hello Yvonne.
Like many of the poetic styles introduced to me here, I don't know enough about them to evaluate. I do know about crows. I am a big fan of them. They are very smart.

Robert

A duodecatain, sounds complicated. But reading it, it flows nicely. The theme is nice too. The winterscene, also in the picture, is well-defined and the two birds, desperately looking for food, in the end get what they were looking for.
Good poem!

This work has reached the exceptional level

Your poem is amazing, Yvonne. The art is awesome and so perfect for your well-thought out words and for this complex style. Each line carries the them and is filled with great imagery. I could see the farmer at work, the crow in its search for food for the babies, and the overall image of a cold winter day yest work has to be done by all--people and animals. There is good use of alliteration and your rhymes are well-chosen--some unique like interred/spurred. Your closing couplet sums up well the idea that fate will win out no matter what. I enjoyed reading this. It is a fine example of this style.
Respectfully, Jan

This piece has a nice flow to it however, at the end of each stanza the flow seemed disconnect. It didn't match the rhythm that you had going. But it told a story.

-Very nice artwork
and presentation.
-Thanks for the notes.
-A well written poem
that flows well with
meter, rhyme, and imagery:
"The countryside is bleak and bare."
-You show how the crows are
impacted by the snow, and search
"for any berry, seed, or pea."
-But, alas, there was success,
and a meal for those baby birds!
-Well done.
