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.
