I Saved a Sparrow

Lost and abandoned, the creature sat there I felt really sad and offered care I lifted him from the ground I looked up without a sound Then I released the sparrow to the air 08302018cjPoSoup, Any Animal Or Creature Limerick, Charles Messina, 3P 5-Line Rhyme; Syllables--10, 10, 7, 7, 10; per syllable counter

Curtis, this poem so much reminded me of the great Ethel Waters and her beautiful rendition of the song, "His Eye Is On The Sparrow". You too had an eye on a sparrow and I know the sparrow was grateful --- if that is possible --- to have been spared by you. Over and above the sparrow's gratefulness is your genuine love and care of God's Creation. Congratulations on your win.

Curtis, I love his. The only reason it didn't place higher is because on the second line the syllable count is wrong (I think) lol Anyway, congratulations on your placement and thanks for entering my contest. Charlie
