This 5-7-5 about birds, Cozy and Vain, has the proper set up and seems to point a finger at consumers for liking and wanting down filled coats and plumes of feathers for designs.

A really good poem. Loved the presentation. The black background for those ever so coloured words, then the punch line in a fading grey, thie size of the font too. " Cosy and Vain". The syllable count is perfect and your verse reads well. Designed for it's impact. Thank you for the author's notes. Really makes us stop and think doesn't it? What we do for our own vanity.

I like your profound message. Your poem is well-written and I like the way you described a couple uses of bird feathers to explain how birds suffer. Your artwork choice goes well with your thoughts. Best wishes!

HELLO Witty Writer: What you have expressed here is interesting to me. Since long ago, I've heard that if I carry a rabbit's foot around with me; that that's. "good luck," for me. I've come to look at that this way. "Hey. What about the rabbit???" WOW! I've imagined that the rabbit felt that her/his foot was, "good luck," for her/him. Especially since God gave it to her/him to make
her/him whole. Honestly, Witty writer; more people should think like you think regarding our God's provisions for his living creatures. I agree with you. rhonnie69.

So well written. Thanks for sharing the additional author notes to bring awareness to the treatment of animals for man's pleasures. So sad! Your ending line is very powerful and haunting. I am hoping it affects others who read as well. A virtual six!

Excellent choice in photo.
And you have made your topic elegantly clear, although I have to admit your added paragraphs explain the situation clearly.
Thanks for sharing.

I think this is a good entry for the 5-7-5 Bye Bye Blackbird writing prompt.
Your short verse speaks of gathering feathers at the cost of the birds.
Well done and good luck to you with this one in the competition.
Sharon
