LOL! Now THAT'S alliteration. What an entertaining 5-7-5 you've penned, and the picture is priceless << wait, alliteration isn't intentional. (smirk) Good luck with this fun poem.

Thank you, Dawn, and it was, but it wasn't necessary to use the same letter in each word, which I decided to do. It probably cost me in the end, but I had fun with it.

I really appreciate the review. :)

Beautiful and dramatic presentation, Deano, though my old 'peepers' had trouble picking out the blue text.

I always love the packages you offer, in content and presentation...plus you're one of the good guys, too.

All the best, my friend, Ray

amazing photos with great alliteration not only have you described the beautiful image in its exquisite detail but you have also written it as a tongue twister that's got to be worth an extra bonus point.
to the author, good luck in the contest..its a fantastic entry

Precisely! Poet!
I see you choose P's. You used them beautifully, to present the perfect portrayal of preening parrots.
You're right, P's are fun! Hey, I wish you much luck with this colorful entry...it was a pleasure, Bill

Yes, Bill, and thank you so much for noticing and citing my usage for choosing the letter "p". "P" for Polly, and Parrot, right? So, you nailed it, Bill, right on the money! As for the contest, I'm hanging in there...barely! I hope I can gain some ground, and soon!

Thanks so much again, Bill. Always a pleasure.:)

Love the repeating "P" and how clever you were at creating a story using only these words.
Excellent.

Thanks again, my friend. I really appreciate it! :)

Terrific presentation - especially like the treatment of the word 'prismatic' in the last line - creative way to make it far more visual. Artwork is spot on for the offering. Best of luck in this contest. AT=/

Wow, this image is clear and colorful. The colors jump out at you. An excellent picture choice. I love the mix of the p word alliteration. Plumb perfect. Prismatic, that is a genius idea. The colors match perfectly. Love the placid parrot prisms. This is pleasing to the eye. I'm petrified by the parrots. Perfection equals six -- spooky. Spook-a-doo

Liked it with purple passion. I bet your story about the rigermortus is creepy. Hate to come back after me cadaver got stiff. Would need no Viagra, lol

reply by the author on 31-Aug-2014

Nope, you're right about that! No Viagra would be needed, heh-heh.
