This is an exceptionally well written poem with lots and lots of imagery and emotions and the picture selection really complimented the poem. This is a very good entry for the contest.

This is a really good response to the 5-7-5 bye-bye blackbird writing prompt. Very compelling words and photo you've chosen. This is a great entry for the contest. Good luck.

Ha, what a neat photographic catch, eh? And you've worked it in with great aplomb and killed two birds with one stone, so to speak. An excellent epitaph and also bye, bye blackbird.

Best wishes to you in the contest with this delight.

Gloria

Funny! This definitely fits the theme of the prompt! The image is perfect for this. This makes me think of the birds that keep rebuilding their nest right outside of my front door, instead of moving the nest somewhere else, they just attack me when I step out the door.
Good luck in the contest,

Karen

That's one way to get rid of them. A friend and I were sitting on my lanai watching the birds at the feeder. I refilled it with what I thought was a bag of seed. My wife had bought seed and lawn fertilizer at the same time. The dead birds let me know which one I had put in the feeder.

That's just a little bit funny. I don't care who you are, it just is! I like the way it sounds a little like Poe, then, you make it yours. You've done a fabulous job with the artwork and how well this is written. Well done!

This 5-7-5, Nevermore, has the right syllables and promotes gun use at the cemetery. Use a shotgun and aim high. Nice Poe reference.

Excellent choice of photo. Struck me as humorous.
I enjoyed the image of the birds depicted in the poem.
My only comment is that I found the last line slightly awkward -- don't ask me why. :)
Thanks for sharing.
