Linda, This is a very cute and very well written haiku about the birds, their bath and chat. You used great descriptive words and very good imagery from the art work you chose. Best wishes in the contest. love and blessings, teri

Oh, I love this! The term 'chat/bath' is perfect! Your syllable count is right, your punctuation is correct for a haiku and your aha moment is visual and brings a smile.
I'm just learning all this stuff (I'm not a poet) so I'm trying to reinforce it in my own brain with reviews. lol. Thank you for giving me such an exceptional example.
Blessings and best,
Deb

Your poem shows what a great observer of nature you are. You don't just see the birds, but you see a deeper comparison to life. I really appreciate your insight.

That's exactly how it looks, isn't it? I'd love to be able to understand them.
This is the perfect wording for the picture and a winner for the Haiku contest. Very well done, Linda, and good luck in the contest! :)) Sandra

How true. I'll never forget the first time I saw a couple of birds, sparrows I believe, in our birdbath. Splashing and fluttering all over the place. I think they were actually bathing and socializing at the same time.
Nice reminder of a natural entertainment.

Great place, but it's for the birds! I bet they do gossip while at the birdie spa. Your little poem is cute, well written and fits the required format. Best of luck in the contest! Evi

Sounds like a hen party to me! It's fascinating to watch the behaviour of birds in the garden. I refer to birds of the feathered kind, of course.
Your final line looks at the natural behaviour of birds from a different perspective, which is part of the art of the haiku. Nicely done.

Hello Livelylinda,
It's a nice piece of poetry in the form of 'Haiku' meeting the desired norms, having lucid as well as PERFECTLY matching the theme phraseology, and TRANSPARENTLY depicting its theme.
You have beautifully likened a group of birds to a women's club.
Picture enhances beauty of the poem.
BEST OF LUCK in the contest.

Comment from Mary Vigasin
A delightful and creative read. I love the idea of a "women's club" At least it is more upscale than using chickens for a "hen party!"
Very clever.
Best wishes
