Example Poem:

The Bird Feeder (Flying Bird Sonnet)

Assorted little song birds came to eat 

near my own vision-shielded inside seat. 

I have a window feeder where they meet 

to peck and forage gaily while they tweet. 

I fill the feeder every other day, 

they reward me with melody and play. 

I am uplifted, by their vivid hues 

their community and the songs they choose. 

From time to time a hawk will disrupt things, 

and strike and kill some tiny bird that sings.

For days after, the little birds retreat. 

I know that natures cycle musts complete; 

there's majesty in cycles that repeat, 

but for those days I do not think it sweet.
