Once again, you fascinate me with what interests you and what you're extremely educated about. These are things I don't ever give thought to without your insight, so thank you! Very well-done poem with accompanying Author's Notes.

    Thank you so much, Elle! Google is a wonderful source isn't it?:)) I love Andy Warhol too. In fairness, he did a great job raising awareness. And I can't believe that your wonderful symbol came so close to extinction. You're always such a great support! Thank you so much! Debbie xoxoxo

Beautifully written, and great topic. Thank you for also including educational tidbits in the notes section. Your poem says so much with so few words - by bringing beauty and fragility to light, you instill both appreciation and urgency at the same time. Not a single syllable wasted.

Also, excellent choice of title, description, and accompanying art. This is the full package! Six stars.

Your haiku is wonderful. I love how it celebrates the beauty found in nature. I never thought of it that way but it is artistry that is in the natural world. Great job.

-Each line is equally important and beautifully written.
-It reads like a haiku and has a great satori like concluding line.

much you appreciate wildlife who deserve their natural habitats.

What a great way to illustrate the artistry of God's creatures who grace our world by their presence. Fragile creation that we are called to care for lest they be lost to us. Your few words pack a lot of meaning.

Yes indeed, sight and sound are big influencers, depending on how we are programmed, being an optimist or pessimist, but probably environmental is the strongest, well done, good post, blessings Roy
