I love this! I'm a bird lover and blue birds especially bring such magic--I just saw one this morning. I especially like the play on words "seedy joint."

Well done!

I like the pun in the first line as a literal description of the feeder and a definition of a dive restaurant. Birds are vocal artistes. The seeds give them energy to sing.
Congrats on the honorable mention in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy

I enjoyed reading your poem. I have a bird feeder and love watching the variety of birds that come to dine. Excellent haiku that creates a scene of nature.

What a great photo to go along with this lighthearted entry.
All syllables are correct for this 5-7-5.
I particularly enjoyed the play on words in the first line with
seedy joint - very clever!
Well done and best of luck in the competition.

My word, what a terrific and beautiful entry into this contest. You have captured the dining performance of birds at the feeder with great observation skills. They are most entertaining to watch, and listen to.

Wishing you great luck with the Committee, Debra. :))

You wrote an excellent 5-7-4 poem that I enjoyed reading. I think the picture is great and sets the poem off perfectly. I didn't see one error. Have a great night. Shirley

Loved your word play and alliteration! And that it is a "seedy joint" sounds perfect for birdies especially artsy ones doing a duet! Cute picture, too! Best wishes in the contest!
