Comment from Amicus
Well done...this is an imaginative and humorous well written response to the prompt. I enjoyed the wry humor and smart sentiment of the ending as well as the delightful bar-bird descriptions. Excellent poem.
Good luck in the competition.

An interesting poem. Thank you for the laughs. I like the descriptions of all types of birds all in there together. An eagle and a seagull together, no class distinction there. Great job

Comment from abeetle
This is great! I was hooked from the opening lines.... "I stepped into a darkened bar,
compelled by thirst. Know what I mean?" I love it! This is a great poem! Good luck in the contest!

Comment from beadyredeyes
The poem followed the rules well, while adding a touch of fun.
Rhyme scheme has a sing-song feel whic is fitting to the silly nature of the topic.
Entertaining read.

Thank you so much for the specific comments and fine review. I'm so glad you read my silly poem. I hope you will someday read one of my not-so-silly ones.
Comment from Judian James
A very clever piece indeed. What a fun way to describe the bar scene and life in general, when one feels the "odd one out" "I looked around for just one friend,
afraid to smile, or even grin because in bird bars I could see no one had lips" loved this bit especially. excellent

I only wish I had a sixer for you, but I guess a month isn't up yet. Foolish rule if you ask me!
Comment from Shirley B
Oh how cute. Your entry is so humerous and detail filled. It is filled with great imagery. I felt like I was at this bar watching all these birds coming in. LOL What a sight. You did a great job using all these words and in such a funny way. Best of luck to you in the contest, Shirley

Comment from adewpearl
What a fun interpretation of the contest prompt - you have used all the contest's requisite words in such a fun poem about this birdie bar. LOL Your quatrains have good flow and strong abcb rhyming and you have described this unusual scene in great, humorous detail. Only birds had bellied up to the bar - I'm still smiling :-) Brooke

Comment from honeytree
I loved the art work and agree we can be in a "bird brained world."
I loved the flow of the words, the creative touch in every word.
I really enjoyed reading every word.
