Notes About The Poem

In Honor Of An Ode Poetry Contest
Sponsored by: Nette Onclaud Written 10/19/2025

PRAISING A MOCKINGBIRD

Autumn wings grace the stout limbs, 
That quiver with the perching 
Of mimicking mockingbirds.
Amid a lone live oak tree, 
A bachelor sings to its 
Intended in an endless
 Ebony Garden of stars.
