I saw @wonderwop had recommendeded the same one. Definitely a great poem.

@whatisnew beautifully creates this poem to talk about the mockingbird. I marvel at the way she rhymes the sentences. It would take me hours to come out with such a piece. Now I know mockingbird can mimic the sound of car alarm to scare off the robbers. This bird not just sings well, but protects well. Great piece.
Thanks so much for your kind words @iamjadeline! You have brightened my day! : )

This week, my featured poem is from @whatisnew. My kitty cat 🐈 wrote about the official bird for the great State of Texas 🇨🇱, the mockingbird. There just happens to be a mockingbird that sings to me everyday, as I make my way to my car. He's camped outside my front door, so if I get to close to his nest, he comes dive-bombing at me until I go away. Great poem kitty cat 🐈.
Thanks Bruni! Mockingbirds are smart and they remember people too, especially those who get too close to their nests. Your are fortunate to have one that greets you every day. : )

For Friday poetry pick, I would like to nominate @tezmel for Broken Shero. https://steemit.com/poetry/@tezmel/broken-shero
There are many who claim to be poets and just as many ways in which to write poetry. The way in which @tezmel writes hooks me at a deep level and agrees with the way in which I prefer to arrange words and play with meanings—for example she takes rainbows and stars with their positive connotations and tears them in two! And scatters them! Shows clouds as suffocating rather than lifting! She lets the reader know she’s poised and proud and strong enough to carry on, but also her underlying feelings of disappointment, hurt and rage are clear and the impossibly unfair sentiment I share, if only I was as good as a man, packs a solid punch.

This poem by our friend @bennettitalia captured my attention with the strong visuals like
He uses concise, strong language to pull us effortlessly into his self-described "stream of consciousness" poem relying on the tactile senses, visuals and draws us into the deep emotions driven by this vision.
I chose this poem because it pulls us through the musings of a child, then dips into the emotive experience of adults and leaving us with a taste of beauty at the poems end.

I would like to recommend "Food to the Table" written by @wordymouth. This poem is a reminder of the fruits of our labors and how rewarding it is to have your own vegetable garden. It was the exact same way I felt when I had my garden many years ago and he made me miss it more than I already do. An enjoyable poem!

I am not sure if I am in the 36 hour window but no harm in recommending a Free Write Poem anyways 😊
Swirling in our proudly owned chaos
Escape is coveting another’s joy
Step back and you will see there is also loss
For life teases, threatens and plays coy
@iamjadeline looks at both sides
Thoughts and feelings of two kinds
Human and Wildflowers, desires unwind
If only they could read each other’s mind
They can’t read each other’s minds but you can right here at Chasm Between Wildflowers and Human

I'll give a 100% upvote to all the nominees, too! It isn't much, but it all adds, up, right? (P.S. I hope you don't mind, I logged in and changed @eagelspirit, which isn't a real account, to @eaglespirit, the very friendly fellow freewriter that I believe you mean)
Thank you so much. I know her and don't know why I got her name wrong. I must have done it once and then copied from that place... Arghh. And please, correct anytime you see stuff. I am tired half of the time when I post and even when I am fully alert, there are days where I am slightly dyslexic.
Totally. No problem!
