I think this is a good entry for the 5-7-5 Bye Bye Blackbird writing prompt.
This short verse tells a good story about a quote.
Well done and I wish you luck with the contest.

This senryu is an excellent entry for the 5-7-5 Bye-Bye Blackbird contest. Your artwork is appropriately stark and a good accompaniment to your stark warning. Well done, Good luck in the contest.

A very well-written 5-7-5 blackbird poem. There is a presence of a blackbird over the soul of the Republic that can be taken away if we cannot stop the blackbird taking over it away.

You must mean a bird black in colour here, the raven perhaps as he is considered threatening or a symbol of death, a fine tribute to poets who are no longer with us, love Dolly x

Wow... very thought-provoking offering for the contest. This is supposed to be a blind contest, though, and you've signed your name in the author notes....??? Did you mean for there to be an apostrophe after Republic? Just seems a bit out of place.... Thanx for sharing and best of luck! ;)

Very nice piece. It reflects well the actions of today. I thought you wrote well and thought that your 3 line 575 poem was well thought out.
Thanks for sharing.

This is a pithy little senryu and a great entry for the contest. I enjoyed reading it and the syllable count certainly met the requirements. The picture was a nice addition.
