Wow! That's so dramatic! I can imagine how noisy it would as the eating frenzy commenced in the orchard. Great job with this!
Again congratulations on your win of the story of the month!

Thank you, Helen!
I've never contributed to a book before, and I just happened upon Gypsy's book, and June's and Pam's contributions. Inspired to "give it a go."
Lots of "winged frenzy" in the orchards in this part of the world as it is cherry season! Watch out!
And thank you complimenting my story. Only one vote separated the two of us, and yours, my friend, is a hoot! "Little pitchers"...yes?

Thank you again!

Excellent

Very nice continuation of the Renga book. The berries have caused quite a frenzy among the birds in the trees. Now they're all over the ground. Wonder where the muse will lead us tomorrow on this journey of creativity...

This follows on perfectly from Pam's poem, maintaining the theme and continuing the story in a most believable way, as the remnants of our almond crop attest to after the cockatoos have flown through!

Hello Tony!
I thank you for your excellent rating and complimentary review.
I've no idea if my offering is correct or suitable; it is what came to me after I read Pam's Haiku - as we are in the middle of cherry harvest here in northern Michigan. Quite the undertaking... and mess...
Thank you!

Very short, yet very powerful. I always find the shorter works to be the hardest to write. I enjoyed your word structure.
