The poem "Whiskers and Wings" presents a vivid narrative, utilizing strong imagery and personification to bring the characters to life. The rhythm and rhyme scheme are consistent throughout, contributing to the overall flow and readability of the piece.

However, there are a few areas that could be improved. The line "Five cats wait upon the wall, they’re the ones who decide" could benefit from rephrasing to avoid repetition from the first stanza. Additionally, the line "They grab enough food for both, this pair find life is hard" seems to introduce a new concept without fully exploring it, which could potentially confuse readers.

The relationship between Limpsy and the magpie is a unique aspect of the poem that could be expanded upon. Providing more details about their interactions could enhance the depth of their bond and make the narrative more engaging.

The use of colloquial language, such as "mammy" and "meal deal," adds a sense of authenticity to the poem. However, it's important to ensure that the language choice is consistent and accessible to a wide range of readers.

Lastly, the poem could benefit from more varied sentence structures. Many lines begin with "And," which can make the poem feel repetitive. Experimenting with different sentence beginnings could add more dynamism to the poem.

The imagery was great! I can see all the cats lined up waiting for their meal, along with the magpie guest who has taken his place with the others. If only humans could be so accepting and share what little they have as your aunt's visitor does with his friend. Great poem

I adore cats and your poem describes them perfectly. I see them all sitting on the wall: a very nice image.

My grandmother used to feed the chickadees in her yard. I can see her with them eating from her hand and perching on her head. I had forgotten about that until I read your poem. Thank you.

Hello, Ruby!
Loved this! This flowed along so happily, and it's doubly wonderful that it's a true tale! I can imagine how joyful it made your aunt. Sweet!

in this line:

And each of them has their own, very distinct dish. here is an alternate line for it:

Each of them has their very own quite distinct (ive) dish. drop the "And" this is your call. I think it sounds better tho! my favorite lines are:

And one has a special friend, unique his pal a bird,
Who pays close attention, they chat and have a word.
The magpie is his follower, and Limpsy is his body guard,
They grab enough food for both, this pair find life is hard.

I had a cat named Gonzo who had a dog for a buddy. The bird sat on the dog (Mitzy's) back! that was a long time ago!

Have you seen our Holiday greetings that Steven wrote. It has pictures of our family of cats?
