Hi Fliss,
If Martha's eggs had been fertile and hatched, maybe the species could have been brought back. So, not only poor Marth, but poor all the rest of the billions of her kin.
I, too, know most of those composers in the video. I want to watch it again to see their dogs. They go by too fast to really have a chance to study them. I could probably name most of the breeds, too.
I'm happy you liked my passenger pigeon poem. It's a relatively recent creation, so I haven't submitted it to many journals. But I would like to see it find a home. The passenger pigeon is part of a series of poems about extinct animal species. A couple have so far been published — one about the dodo (Autumn Sky Poetry Daily) and the other about the Tasmanian Tiger (Poetry Nook). Thanks to members of the Sphere for help with both of those poems.
Best,
Martin
