Notes About The Poem

Image result for pictures of a mockingbird and brown thrasher fightingThere were a mockingbird and a brown thrasher out at the birdbaths fighting today. LOL..The reason for writing this and also was challenged to try the form Englyn. 

The Bird Fight

Showering in the rain, a mockingbird Unheard chirps, or his pain A brown thrasher knocked him wane Totally off the fast train

Birds can be wild ... Not always harmony in the neighborhood. Congratulations on your HM in the contest and your visit to my poem, Sara.

Well, Trina, I don't think either of them was hurt enough not to fly off. I don't know which one won the fight though. Thanks for the nice review of my work. Sara K

Hi Sara, lol! witty poem. Sounds a lot like the varied species of birds that feed in our backyard. The smallest species look so cute, but sometimes bicker at each other when sharing one of the feeders. The squirrels Crack me up too. Excellent penning. Blessings of the summer to you and yours.

I think that it was my first try with that form as well, YW. It was interesting trying to do it so nothing will be lost if it doesn't place. Sara K
