Very Cute! Dining in style with "soothing notes in their heads." This was a very fun read. Great job on the imagery in your words. I enjoyed this very much. Thanks for sharing!

What a delightful image this conjures up! It makes me wonder; would penguins really would enjoy classical music, or is this just a bit of whimsy? In either case, it makes for a lovely read!

    I wonder too, if the penguins would enjoy the symphony. Thanks for a great review. Elaine

I really liked the snack the penguins had at the symphony. The reference to the tuxes was bang on. I wonder if they could have listened to instruments that bring visions of sea life to mind. Perhaps they could have listened to sea themed music also. How would the penguins applaud? This poem brings to my mind a video I once watched where penguins watched a light beam and their heads all moved together like at a tennis match when we watch the ball being passed back and forth. I like what you have done with this poem.

I thought the part about them already being in tuxedos was really cute. They are intelligent birds, no? Great read. Nice imagery and great pic to use.

About time I checked you out, my faithful reviewer. I see this as a spoof about the rich fat men in tuxedos at a fancy affair, be it a symphony or cocktail party. The aquarium could be the "glass" mansions where they reside. That's my take on this imagery laden poem.

Lovely. I hadn't thought of them in that way. It gives an insight not unlike a child's imagination of possibilities. Thank you for writing this.
