Hello Mystery Writer,
How I wish I had six stars for your creative Minute poem! I've never seen or heard a mockingbird, but I have read of them. So interesting. Presently, we have purple finches building a nest in a forsythia wreath on our front door and tufted titmice building a nest in another floral wreath on our front side door. Needless to say, they are a noisy bunch! :)
Your poetic offering is refreshing!
Thank you for sharing, and best wishes!

What an interesting Minute poem. I really enjoyed this. I didn't know that a mockingbird can make all those realistic sounds. Thank you for sharing. Image is beautiful. Marilyn

A very well-written minute poem about the sound of a car alarm mimicked by a loon perfectly to wake all up in search for the alarm to be silenced just to learn it is a perfect sound from the bird.

The same thing happened to a friend of mine. They are hilarious with their mimics. However, they can be very annoying, too. Very good Minute poem, especially since it's a true story.

The amazing little creature could also have made you think you heard a barking dog, a piano, . . .! Your minute poem is creatively composed, descriptive, and delightful.

WOW, I didn't know a mocking bird could sound like a car alarm. It had to be very disturbing searching through cars, to see which one's alarm was going off. As a matter of fact, it's really funny to finally find out it was a mockingbird. To find out it was a mimic mocking bird. This an awesome photo of a huge mimic mocking bird. Too cool. Nice rhyming of your words and you did meet the contest requirements (12 lines and 60 syllables) for this Minute poetry. This is an amazing mimic poem. Thanks & Happy Writing:-)

I like this piece very much. I didn't know this about mocking birds. How startling to wake to a car alarm, the disruptive search to no resolve and then to find it was a mimicking mocking bird who changes its tune to a laughing loon. This is a fun story to tell and paired with great art work.
Your syllable count, stanza count and rhyme scheme are all according to guidelines; however, I'm not sure if phonetic rhymes, as opposed to technical rhymes are acceptable (Find and Mine)? Also, "A mimic made it so absurd" feels a little forced. if I may suggest: A mimic was what we had heard... Overall, I really enjoyed reading (and learning something)! Thanks!

I?m glad you enjoyed this fun piece! I did wonder about the technical rhymes and lack of rhythm towards the end. So, I revised it. I like it much better!
