Hi Brooke, thank you. Just a little bit of fun. Enjoyed doing something silly. Warmest regards.
Comment from daniela.albu
Your poem managed to portray a greedy parrot and has humor and a musicality of its own. The name of the Parrot making a title using alliteration, contributes to the fun of the poem

Hi Daniela, thank you. A bit of fun and a giggle. Poor Peter Parrot. But what a way to go!

Poet,
I know who wrote this, you Tasmanian gal. Your waxing poetic on the page. This gets my vote. Cool art work and presentation. Is that your bird imposed in the photo? Excellent use of the required words. Great narrative and vivid imagery. I loved the lines:
Peter Parrot
Laughs out loud
He beat the heat
Hidden amongst the wheat
Clever tale of a Parrot being greedy. Good luck in the voting booth. You're up against some darned good poetry, my friend. . .Melissa!

Hi Melissa, yes I am. But I had fun putting this together. Short and sweet. No not my parrot, borrowed him from Cipart. Thanks Melissa. Warmest regards - you dont know who!

Comment from kintesiegel
This is interesting but I would like to know why the parrot is guilty of greed. since you don'[t explain it in any way it doesn't make sense to me.

This poem is a hoot~~or should I say a "squawk"! Just delightful. You did well with the word challenge. I too thank you for the artwork--delightful as well.
Blessings,
Jane

Cute artwork! The poetry is a bit choppy though, as I'm sure you know. Not enough effort put into the piece, but I know it's challenging to do these kinds of contests. Excellent effort!

I put in a lot of effort to come up with those words in such a short succinct poem. I don't agree with you that it is choppy. But, you are entitled to your opinion. A three star rating cannot be an 'excellent effort'. but thanks.
Comment from sopranodebs
The artwork is very clever. The red text against the green is a bit harsh to read and defers from its joyousness. Lovely little poem. Well done, good luck in the contest

I like that "he's already in heaven". Nothing bad can happen to you when you are already there. Love the artwork. A fun piece.
