Written: December 14, 2023, For Ink Empress Contest ________________________________________ Sipping from nature's cynosure duct as yearning subtly for sweetness quaint wings of golden glass. lifelong square keenness barely seen but loved drifting nearby reedy bird held my sigh time sunset this winter it feels peaceful grasping the instant sweet infant in my arms she struck her velvety foot much giggles brightening the mind Touched my face with rose-dipped fingertips.

You never cease to amaze me. This is perfection. Your mind manages to pull just the wright words to create magnificence. Not just one in a while, but Always. .. What can anyone say to describe the feeling they get reading your poetry ? I am in awe, so I guess that makes it AWESOME. All the best from Wen.

This is a lovingly honest poem of happiness. Small children are poems in their own right. Thank you.

We call one that looks just like the picture, "Flitter". Just like in the picture, Flitter, love to visit our Hibiscus every year. A well written Nonet, my friend. A fine entry for the contest. Good luck! May your poet's pen be always filled with smooth flowing poetic words as its ink. Have a pleasant weekend, my dear friend. Bill ps I did add this one to my FAV list.

I like your hourglass nonet contest entry. I think it will get noticed and it reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara K

Humming birds are conduits of joy. This piece fluttered in my mind. Thanks as well for your visit.

Such a delightful nonet. The poem presenting two beautiful objects, a humming bird sucking honey and a child touching your face with her rose dipped finger tips....! Both are so pleasingly and delicately presented in vivid and captivating imagery. Well dine dear friend. All the Best.

a delightfully charming poem about my favorite tiny bird--barely seen but loved. The imagery you created for the tiny creature were just as delicate as the bird itself. They 'hold my sigh' every time I see one. The 2d part of your Nonet seemed to be talking about a child comparing the joy in seeing it to that of seeing a butterfly?? Just lovely in every aspect. Wishing you a pleasant evening, Sara
