The Birds - a Tribute To Alfred Hitchcock

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

And a chill goes down my spine! Spooky, just in time for All Hallows Eve! This movie really scared the heck out of me. Another great piece, Tim. Hugs, Donna

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 !!

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
