If you have had no word from Cat it is almost certainly because she is so snowed under having had to take time out for her daughter's wedding and subsequent food poisoning. She is trying to catch up with a huge backlog of replies and reviews to catchup with. I love your Catastrophe idea so poetic.
this poem is a fine example of the genre as well as being an ap[ologia for the vulture. Nature's garbage disposal operatives.

Powerful genre.
Masterfully written and constructed.
It gets to every emotion.
It can be hard to take and yet you just are in awe.
Well done!!

Comment from nancy_e_davis
The Vulture has his job to do and he does it well. I have always wondered what they find to eat in our Ely graveyard. They roost there all the time. Along the main drag and in the center of the town. LOL Well done Tom. Nancy

Thank you Nancy. Maybe they just feel more comfortable near dead things. Lol.
Comment from Dawn Munro
Well, the form itself is interesting, and very creative, but it's made even more so by the topic you've chosen and your deft hand - eeeewwww - yes, okay, we need them, it's true, but "his countenance presents a foul display" for sure! (*grin* - great shot, btw)

Comment from IndianaIrish
I enjoyed your creative vulture poem, Treischel, and your photograph is perfectly eerie. I thought I read the poem needs to be written in iambic pentameter? If so, I found several lines where the meter wasn't iambic. If I read the rules for the format wrong, I'm sorry.
Smiles,
Karyn :-)

Thank you IndianaIrish. You are absolutely right. Somehow, I loaded in an early draft. My bad. Fixed it to the correct one now.

You're very welcome.
Comment from LIJ Red
We have lots of buzzards around here, larger than anything but the wild turkeys. I think they regurgitate hair and bones, usually while resting in trees after a meal. Be careful where you walk...this is the third Catastrophic poem I've seen. They work for me...

Tom, this is a nicely written poem about a very ugly bird. I wish they would visit here early each morning to clean up the road kill skunks, especially after a full moon night. Patricia

Comment from Joan E.
I am glad you were inspired by Cat's form and like your name for it. I read that she endorsed Dean's name for it when he was equally inspired. I am surprised that you caught the vulture so close up. I enjoyed your rhymes and dabs of red to mimic its naked head. Cheers- Joan

I could imagine this as being one of a series in a children's picture book. It has the nature notes wrapped in a catchy poetic style! A series extolling the virtues of some of nature's less favoured fauna! Sure to appeal to any young lad!
