This is quite funny :) I'm a music person and have seen this picture before. You give it new life. Kind of like an electric piano. Or maybe like doing face to face online? Congratulations on winning this contest.

    Thanks, Joy ... maybe it is jazz, the notes are all over the place!

The words roll together very nicely here -musically, in fact- even though an arpeggio isn't notated the way these birds are sitting. Still, I like the effect of the picture with the poem. I bet it will do very well in the contest. Good luck to you. xo

    You know too much about music! and I don't, hence the incorrect position of the birds. They just would not sit still when i was trying to get them arranged right on the wires. And they kept crapping on me as I was standing beneath them.
    Actually, I wrote this with you in mind, because of your music abilities and having read your story immediately before I wrote it.

    Except you're running away with the contest! So who REALLY knows what she's talking about (hint: YOU) and who's just chattering away (hint: the other person in this conversation..)?! xo

I loved this inventive nature write, and why don't birds get electrocuted? Is it because they are not earthed! He he he, your words are brilliantly penned and this is my favourite, so you get my vote, love Dolly x

Well this was just the most clever thing I have seen here in a long time. It takes an exceptional brain to look at this art and see musical notes. I totally loved this post and who ever you are, I encourage you to take the road less traveled and then show us what you find. This is terrific and I wish you luck in this contest. Well done!!!!!! Lynda

    Hi Lynda,
    thanks so much for your awesome review. You made me feel great!
    Believe me, I always try to take the road less travelled... the view is better and there are fewer bothersome people!
    Life on the edge is where the challenge and the beauty is.
    All the best to you,
    Peace. LM

Your contest restricted text and selected illustration are perfectly 'in sync' with each other, but I can't name that tune in 1 note (-;

like especially:
arrangement ...
... arpeggio
humming

    That is a shame about the disharmony... and they are probably crapping on people below as well!
    Thanks for your review and good wishes.

Hi Contest Author,

Ha ha ha! This is a great poem and an excellent contest entry. You are truly seeing, with an artist's eye, versus just looking at the world around you. Good luck and thanks for sharing.

You have made effective use of all your syllables in this creative, well-written
5-7-5. They DO look like sheet music. I see such scenes when I'm
out walking; the birds make me think of a business meeting.

I feel the intent in this write, wondering if it suffers needing a more enhance conveyance, falling myself short of rendering that view. I found this an interesting perspective about birds. All in my opinion of this work.

    Thanks for taking the time to review my poem. It's as good as I can make it! I noticed the birds and I am interested in music, so the 2 ideas came together when i saw the birds on the wires.
