Write a Monorhyme writing prompt entry
Writing Prompt Write a 6 line Monorhyme. A monorhyme is a poem where all the lines have the same end rhyme. Example: Night Storm It came in a winter?s night, a fierce cold with quite a bite. Frosted wind with all its might sent ice and snow an invite to layer earth in pure white and glisten with morning light. Copyright © 2005 Marie Summers |
The problem is exacerbated by the migration's timing, as many birds fly at night. Attracted by the glow of skyscrapers in the dark, they are vulnerable to collision -- either with each other or the buildings. For some, the light can prove so disorientating that they flutter around for hours, eventually becoming exhausted and landing in inhospitable environments.
Birds can also become confused by windows with plants behind them, mistaking them for a safe landing spot.
Reflective glass next to gardens and parkland can also prove problematic, promising a safe haven where none exists.
Authorities encourage owners of tall buildings to turn off lights during the two migration seasons to help protect the birds and reduce energy costs.
