the persona of the
"Bellowing Bull."

Pam, I had a feeling you would like this nature poem. Thanks for the helpful review!

You are very welcome. You must know me pretty well, mystery writer! I don't think the bull frogs we have are very big, but they are loud! When I know who you are, I'll share another bull frog story!
-
I do hope so. I am a fan of your work!

Now I am more intrigued!

You have cleverly crafted this word prompt entry into an entertaining brief read. The photo-art selection is well complementing.
Looks like a promising contest entry, best wishes.

Thank you for your review and comments. I know how hard it is to review a haiku, as by nature, they are short. Take care, and thanks again!

You're welcome, my pleasure!
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem and an excellent use of the prescribed words to use in your poem a very short and sweet poem about the bellowing bull-frog.

Thank you for your wonderful review, Sandra. Somehow, the words just spoke Haiku to me.
Comment from Gail Denham
oh I do like this - and the picture too. For sure some of those frogs grow to amazing girth - and their song is loud at night. we had a huge brown toad I guess it was - that used to sing outside on our deck at night. such fun.
good poem

Thank you, Gail, for the review and comments. I originally wanted to make this about a bovine bull, but at the last moment decided on the bullfrog, who also bellow (or sing).

This is done quite well! It is amazing how you incorporated the required 4 words into the short parameters of haiku. I love the picture you chose, an asset to your remarkable little poem. Great job with this and best of luck in the contest. I would personally assume you will do quite well!

Thank you so much, Wendy. I don't know why I went for the Haiku, the words were a challenge enough, but it just leant itself to that in my head...
Take care
Comment from LeannaP
This was a nice entry for the contest. You write well. I believe the best writing sometimes can be one that uses less words but makes an impact. Nice work.

What a really cool use of the writing prompt words! And I liked the way you bolded them, too. Very smart. "The earth is my song" is awesome. You really have done an exceptional job here. I wish you such luck in the contest, Mystery Writer!! xo

I like this short poem which is very creative to include those words from the prompt within a very few words of poetry. Great job with this effort and thanks for sharing! Bill

Comment from Cindy Warren
Aren't bullfrogs great? Not only do they sing, they make wonderful inspiration for poems. The words in this prompt don't fit together very well, but you did it with only a few words. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you for the review. How would they go together better?
-
I think that's part of the challenge. They gave you words that wouldn't normally be used in the same sentence.
-
True.
