A Canary Sings Its Worth Poem by Ben Gieske

i always think that to get to the centre of one's poetic spirit, one has to read every poet's poem. it helps one get to one's own poetic juices. good work ben. keep it up.

Canaries whose songs deviate from the usual tune are priced more. And though they're endangered specie, their singing will surely influence others. Please continue to be that unique.

All song birds sing but the wild ones have good reason

and i am lucky to have heard the canary, good one sing us all the songs.

why would you be content a caged canary when you can aspire to be a nightingale? rachel

Ben, I appreciate your poem as a Baltimore poet feeling lost here in Virginia Dorothy

i would love to read those kentucky poets. can you post some of them here under kentucky poets. do they write about fried chickens ben? .

good poem, it reminds me that no matter the amount of people that see one's work it will always as its value

I like the imagery in this poem and also the message. There might be many singing birds but perhaps only one or two that sing in tune, or that they have a finer song than all the other birds. Lovely poem. HG: -) xx

'A canary may be ordinary, At least it’s heard by those nearby.' Admirable insight. The canary sings well without pretension.
