�Ciao mystery poet.. You poem stood out from the rest ..you have now 2 votes.
In my country the swallows migrate to Africa for winter..
These tiny critters I imagine have no alternative but to face the cold temperatures of winter ..they look so cute huddled next door to each other ..
The two on the ends must feel the cold more ..
Probable they rotate positions like the emperor penguins ..they too huddle together but in a huge circle ..... at intervals those on the outer rim swap with those much warmer inside.

This is an easy to read, easy to understand short poem entry for the 5-7-5 Poetry contest. It should do well. I wish you the best of luck!

Great little poem! Sometimes the shortest ones are the best ones- I'm a big believer in 'less is more.'
-You had me at 'cheep!'

What a beautiful picture, Mystery Author. Your contest entry pairs perfectly with it. I like the alliteration of h, d, & c. Your words flow smoothly to tell a great moment before darkness takes over the land. Your notes are informative.
Thanks for sharing. Best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

This is so very sweet. Your words and the photo go very well together and made me smile. I love birds from the tiny hummingbirds to the regal eagles. Sweet poem.

I am a bird lover so i keep noticing anything to do with birds. When I saw this photo in the local paper i knew there was a potential poem in the waiting.

A very well-written 5-7-5 twilight poem about the little birds starting to cuddle while they watch the dusk coming closer until it us dark and they settle in for the night.

This one must have a 6! You have made superb use of your seventeen syllables, strong word choices, alliteration, and that GREAT pun, since little birds make that "cheeping" sound to communicate!

I wish I still had a six star rating left to give you. Anyone who can write a 5-7-5 poem that rhymes, makes sense, and is entertaining truly deserves one. Good luck in the contest. Stay safe and stay healthy.

This is a good observation and the story appears very well stated; let the tiny birds cuddle, let them talk cheap; well said. ALCREATOR

Cheep (Cheap)

Thanks for your review. I have spelled it "cheep" on purpose because that is how tiny birds talk to each other.

You made my day with this terrific rating! They do look like a choc eclair... when I first saw the photo I thought it was a bad set of teeth!
