Hi folks,

Here is a sonnet about one of our avian pals at Autumn Sky Poetry Daily.

That's obscene!--though I must admit
I haven't read past the title.

Thanks, John. Don’t worry, I won’t tell any titmice what you said.
I appreciate your having told me what you really thought (that you enjoyed the poem) in the PM you sent me.

Thanks, Aaron. Those feathered friends love you, too.

You're very welcome! Lost in the clerihew thread is one I devoted to the tufted titmouse, after reading your sonnet. Not sure it's worth a look, but I thought I'd mention it.

Cheers,
John

Hi John,

I had fun reading the whole clerihew thread, including your tufted titmouse. Thanks for mentioning it. That makes me want to try writing some.

Best,

Martin

They are entertaining to write, if not downright addictive, in my experience.

Cheers,
John
