Out my way there is a chicken franchise called Church's Chicken this would be a great promotion picture for them. Your funny and conforming Minute poem is one of the best ones I've come . Good Luck and Blessings to you.

    We have Church's Chicken here in Georgia as well This was a very fun poem to write, although it was quite challenging. I appreciate your complimentary review.

I found it on Pinterest. I have it in my photo file. I will find someplace to use it. You have a nice and silly poem. The name alone is worth the read. I am thinking about writing a contest called" Let's kill Karen" you can kill me with kindness, roll me over with a steam roller, have me fighting with my support hose and tumbling down the stairs, but it must make me laugh.
I have mentioned it to others and they said they would be happy to kill me. Is that a bad thing?:-)

I like your poem. Wouldn't it be wild if a church had windows that could see? Like your poem, does the church look like a chicken that has a face, and is located in Florida?

    Thank you. I think I first saw it on Facebook and then found it with Google images. It just begged someone to write about. I appreciate your review and best wishes.

They have to make me laugh or cry, say awe or sigh, to get that coveted 6th star. You got it with this. I laughed out loud. I saw the photo first and thought, what an odd building. Then I read your poem and saw what you saw. Good job!

-That is a strange looking building;
it would be hard to keep a straight face going in it.
-A nice presentation and a well written minute poem.
-Effective imagery and rhyme.
-The second verse is my favorite with
"windows that can see" and "Is this a pun?"
-A very good concluding verse.
-Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you, Pam. The image of this little church just begged to be described. A very fun write, though difficult to stay within the rules. There is so much more I could say. Thanks for the review.

    You are welcome, and you did stay within the rules and still wrote a fun poem.

This is an excellent post. Perhaps the church is looking accusingly, saying, Why aren't you at church this morning?...or last week for that matter! Beautifully wrutten, this is an excellent post my friend, good luck in the contest, blessings Roy

Haha! I can't stop looking at this photo. Who says God doesn't have a sense of humor or, at the very least, collects clucks?

This was an enjoyable read and fit perfectly into the humor of the photo.

Best, JohnC

A challenging format to write and tell a story. Great subject for a poem and enjoyable to read. Rhythm and meter works well. Well done.

My only suggestion would be about the story and how it could flow in a stronger way. But you have my admiration - not sure I could write in this format!

Best wishes

Caroline

What a great rhyming pattern. I like the way you used perfect rhyming words that fit and didn't seem forced. Great job here.

This is an enjoyable read.
