A poem with a double meaning. I love those. There's a lot in this one that's open for interpretation. Wonderfully written and illustrated by your talented hand. Sending you my best today as always and my best wishes for the haiku poetry contest.

Wow!! Seriously, I cannot even count the number of times you have made me smarter this year with your posts!! I always learn something --usually a LOT of somethings!-- about celebrities and famous authors from you. And now, I'm also learning about nature!

I'm just glad, though, that Tippi Hedron isn't alive to read this. I fear she would not give you a loving review... xoxox

    That was mighty quick. Gosh you're on the ball. I must get myself a dose of Covid:)) Thank you so much, Elle! Actually I think my brain has gone. I just can't get myself round to another biography and I should have started by now! Who's the late Tippi Hedron and should I fear anyone else? Debbie xos

    Tippi Hedron was the actress in Alfred Hitchcock's thriller, "The Birds."

    Also, regarding writing another biography, you could always do it one quattrain at a time and call it a "collection" of poems about your next famous person. I've heard that that's a very well-supported method of FS poetry of late!

    Ha ha! You're right. Far less taxing too!

    Oh God, I should have known that!

    Yes! Gives you a greater chance to win an end-of-year trophy, too, if you promote like a nut!! Not that anyone would do that, of course...

This work has reached the exceptional level

A great haiku! Only today on BBC news we saw a murmuration of several thousand starlings, so you are right up to date!

Well, assonance, consonance and alliteration all rolled together in this accomplished piece.

So worth a six, my clever friend - and good luck in the competition.

Paul

    Oh Paul, I didn't expect that! Thank you sooo much! I saw it too on the news (amongst all the other dire stuff) and couldn't resist. This sight, together with flights of geese, is so remarkable and inspiring. The contest is ages away which is the best way, I think, to treat them:) Well done again on yours. Did you ever get clarification? Debbie x

    Still waiting, Debbie.
    Tomorrow I am applying for an overdraft! My housing benefit is cancelled by mistake and my phone stopped working two hours ago. Not my favorite day - BUT I am just about to make spaghetti bolognese - so the end of the day will be better!
    Love from Paul
