Comment from Dawn Munro
Wow, thank you for this marvelous poem, Debbie. We go about our worldly work without being aware (sometimes) of the hazards we cause those creatures who are as entitled to life as we are -- poetry like this jewel raises awareness, and enough can't be said. Statistics tell us that we will lose between 0.01 to 0.1% of all species every year.

Comment from Heather Knight
Even though it's impossible to pack much in these tiny poems, you've done very well and the notes are extremely interesting.
I'd never seen this mural/painting, but once you mentioned Warhol, I realised I should have guessed.
Thanks for sharing.

I enjoyed your play on words. It felt like you had to hold back with the limits of the contest. I would love to read how you would express this in your own personal writing style. Wishing you all the best.

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! Yes, being limited in this way is a good exercise but also frustrating:)) Take care Debbie
Comment from Mustang Patty
Hi, Debbie,
This wonderful 5-7-5 expresses so much about the species disappearing from this world. How on earth can people ignore this fact? But they do, and the world keeps spinning.
Thank you for sharing and Good Luck in the contest,

I enjoyed your 5-7-5 poem on the artistry of nature and the vulnerability of some of nature's creatures. I just watched a news item about the succvess of reintroducing the platypus into one of our National pars. Lovely presentation, Debbie,

Comment from Boogienights
I'd be very surprised if this doesn't win the contest. It's very well written and brings attention to endangered species. It's sad to think that one day they may be gone completely.

Comment from Karen Cherry Threadgill
I think zoos are awful. Caging up animals. We are to blamewhen animals attack. They were here first. We encroach on their lands. We take and we kill. Boy, I need to climb down my soap box. Good work. Karen

Comment from Mark Jackson
Very good I don't know if this was a competition entry but I could see it winning a prize. I especially liked the final line Fragile Artistry. I always find the final line the hardest to write and feel it should be the strongest, yours was.

Comment from dragonpoet
Hi Debbie,
It is so sad that so many animals are endangered mainly because man encroaches on their habitats to build homes or sometimes resorts.
We have lost so much to extinction and should work to lose no more.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Congrats on placing third in the contest.
Have a great rest of the day and week.
