  1. What a sweet little bird. Like many others, I love the “trilling and churring.” I’m intrigued by the form, too, and may have to try my hand at a double fib. Thank you for sharing, Jone!

  2. maryleehahn says:

    I like how your brought their double hop into your double fib!

  3. Perfect form for the subject. Well done.

  4. Tabatha says:

    Charming, Jone! I like the shape, too.

  5. A double fib? How cool is that? He’s a real cutie, that fox sparrow. I’d like to hear that trilling and churring.

  6. lindabaie says:

    This is a new kind of sparrow to me, Jone, and you’ve included the facts very well in your poem. I’ve never written a double-fib before, well done!

  7. The description of the fox sparrow in your poem reminds me of my chickens foraging in the grass as they search for food.

  8. I like the words trilling and churring! The shape gives it an extra spin for me.

  9. Irene Latham says:

    Well done, Jone! The fox sparrows of the world are trilling and churring for sure! xo

  10. dorireads says:

    A double Fibonacci just because it’s Friday? I like the way you think. Nice poem, too.

  11. I’d never heard of a Fox Sparrow before, what a charming little bird, highly worthy of such a poem!
