This was an interesting write. It's really cool that you noticed the formation and got a poem out of it. Good flow as well. Good job and good luck in the contest.

Thanks for your great review. I noticed the birds, and thought of music notes, so I combined both ideas. I had to research music terms though to find one that captured my intention... arpeggio.
Comment from RodG
The photo and the poem are beautifully paired to bring out the meaning of your poem. I can easily visualize birds on a wire as being notes on a staff. Better yet, I can HEAR the "arpeggio" of bird song. Rod

Thanks, Rod. We have lovely bird song in NZ and as I have many trees around my house I am very aware of the music of birds.

My pleasure. Rod

This is an excellent 5-7-5 poem and entry for the contest
with an interesting musical connection to the visual of the photo,
especially with the five lines.
Perhaps, it's just a convent place for birds to land
or maybe they relate to the humming in the wires.
Well done
Good luck in the contest.

Thanks for your comments... another reviewer said the birds were probably tweeting!
Comment from humpwhistle
Being this day and age, I suspect they may be tweeting, rather than humming.
Indeed, they appear to be notes on a staff. Nicely done.
I wish you best at the polls.
Peace, Lee

Funny about the tweeting.... but MY birds definitely are feeling the humming vibrations. I have plenty of trees around my house and bird song in NZ is delightful.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written 5-7-5 poem about the birds on the electric / telephone lines like notes on a music staff ready to be played by the musician any time he likes to. It may be quite a Symphony.

Thanks for your comments, Sandra.
NZ bird song does indeed make a symphony at times.

how adorable is this?
very clever use of your words that draws ones in and that takes talent.
The photo goes well to make this come to life.
It was a pleasure to read you're fine well-penned work.
I hope for the best in the contest
