A very well-written contribution to the Renga format that tells a story from beginning to end by different poets' contributing based on the last posted 5-7-5 or ,7-7 post?

Comment from Janice Canerdy
You have made excellent use of your fourteen syllables to describe a little bird's drive for sustenance--at the expense of those lovely red berries and their beauty!

Comment from Bill Schott
This poem throws some skis onto the renga and brings the gory scene of gorging birds into the scarlet scene of berry mutilation.

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Very nice iamge
and presentation, diane.
-The author notes are good
and helpful, too.
-You did a good job with the 7/7
follow up poem.
-The imagery creates a vivid
word picture of the birds
feasting in the orchard.
-The concluding line is very good, too,
personifying the frenzied picking by the birds.
-Well done.

Good Morning, Pam!
Thank you for your excellent rating and review.
I so enjoyed your haiku, and to tell you the truth, I was munching on Traverse City cherries when I read it!
I've never participated in an exercise like this; I so enjoyed the opportunity.
Wishing you a beautiful day!

You are very welcome, diane. That is ironic that you were enjoying some fresh cherries. They seem to be making the rounds in the poems. I have never done anything like this, either, and it's nice to see people are participating. It was fun.

Sending you my best today as always, and best wishes for your writing endeavors,

Comment from Gloria ....
Ha, I hear you. The birds always go for the low hanging fruit instead of the higher up ones that we with invisible wings can't reach.
An excellent idea from Gypsy and a pleasure to read and review. :)

Winged Frenzy
by Mrs. KT
Hello, Mrs KT,
Wow, what a vivid image! I love it. I can see the little birds eating the berries in a frenzy... The idea of setting the orchard on fire is a wonderful juxtaposition with the garnet gems. Beautiful imagery. A perfect couplet to follow Pam's haiku. Well done!
