Hello DD,
What a wonderful picture and poem you've written to match
with beautiful imagery and a nice touch of alliteration.
It won't be long before those little ones are flying
and raindrop will wash off their feathers
Excellent 5-7-5 poem
Best wishes to you
Robert

-I love the image, DD.
-Syllable count is good.
-The imagery is vivid and
creates a picture of these
little guys trying to take
cover from the rain.
-Effective alliteration in line two.
-I also like the last line.
-Good luck in the contest.

Yes, they had better get out from under that inadequate umbrella, to a dry hole in a tree, if they give a hoot about their circumstance.

Good work, and good luck in the competition, DD!

G'day, mate,

Don

Your 5-7-5 form creates a picture of nature. I like the image of birds dreaming about flight. It makes them real and the pic is so cute. Your words take the reader out into nature.

Sensible creatures. They'd be better off not taking flight really. was this how the umbrella got invented? they do say owls are supposed to be wise. They are owls or owlets, are they not?

An adorable poem with an equally charming image. Yes, the owl babes dreams of flight look like they are put on hold for now, but I hope winning the contest isn't put on hold. Good luck with this nice entry. Marilyn

A very well-written 5-7-5 poem. Birds in nature also sometimes find shelter against the rain. It seems no one likes to get wet in rainy conditions. Finding shelter is pure instinct.

Wonderful three liner. A strong contender, I imagine. Awesome artistic alliteration abounds. I like the word play on

while wet weather rains supreme

reigns and rains - well done.

I suggest moving the dash from line three to line two (optional).

Loved reading this aloud, especially the F and S and W sounds.

Great presentation picture too.
Bravo and good luck.

Warmly, rd
