The Birds - a Tribute To Alfred Hitchcock

Peaceful playground scene
Bars behind her smoke-break bench
A single crow lands...

Carrie Richards Date: 10/11/2009 7:49:00 AM Hitchcock was the master.........the beginning of that movie (with the cage of lovebirds)...was so subtle, in innocence....then led to that one crow on the playground....yep....! His movies built up the tension...but such fun !!! Great senryu !! Login to Reply

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 10/11/2009 5:36:00 AM Yipes! "The Birds," as I recall, began with the sighting of just one by Tippy Hedren. Then suddenly... At a costume party, my former boss had birds pasted all over her with fake blood dripping from her skin and clothes. You set the scene serenely, just as Hitchcock did at the start. (My favorite director) As for LSU's loss, I saw part of the game and cheer for them always!! The Tebow show goes on. Excellent Senryu, Tim. We've much in common. Love, Carolyn Login to Reply
