I thought I'd try something different this week.
Not sure what you call this-but I hope you all
enjoy it! Visit Magpie Tales for more great poetry!

Cheers and have a great weekend.
Yes, you nailed it. It's a hummingbird feeder!
ReplyDeleteVery creative use of words, kathew.
ReplyDeleteI think you call that an alpha poem. I like to do it, and I like what you did! Thanks also for your comment.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting, very different. I sometimes do it with people's names. No-one has noticed so far! Thank you for visiting mine, and for your kind comment.
ReplyDeleteI like it...great Magpie! :-)
ReplyDeleteTo me this is pure, clever magic..sooo good!!
ReplyDeleteoh nice pick up on the fine details...and a nice acrostic from it...great magpie!~
ReplyDeleteCleverly done in so few words! Excellent Magpie.
ReplyDeleteIs Willow saying what looks like a cute cottage is a humming bird feeder? Certainly food me!
ReplyDeleteCleverly written! Wonderful magpie! =)

thanks everyone for your always kind comments...the teeny tiny red hummingbird feeder is what prompted me to write this acrostic! and Thanks Brian for letting me know that what I had written was called an acrostic!
ReplyDeleteThanks for explaining about the feeder. I did wonder at anyone who would build such a huge feeder for such a tiny bird! :-)
ReplyDeletevery creative I might have to give this style a try!
ReplyDeleteOf course! I had studied quite hard to see what it really was, but my eyes ain't what they were! Great Magpie.
ReplyDeleteHow clever! A delightful acrostic and it surely points to an object not readily noticed. Great!
ReplyDeleteIt's terrific. We have many hummingbirds at our house right now "missing me by inches" when I'm out in the yard.
ReplyDeleteI've used this technique but only with peoples' names, and my mom wrote one to me using my name that I really treasure (she was not like the mother in my mag29 piece!).
Just lovely and so clever to focus on such a tiny detail. Perfectly suited to the small subject!
ReplyDeleteThat's cool! :o)
ReplyDeleteI've always been fascinated by hummingbirds with their wings all a-blur...amazing birds. Now I am going to have to go back to Willow's photo and try to find the feeder that I failed to notice. Clever acrostic.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your take on this weeks prompt - like some of the others the feeder went unnoticed by me
ReplyDeleteNice! I think there's a name for that form of poetry...but alas this former English teacher doesn't know. Thanks for visiting and your nice comment at Life is Good.
ReplyDeleteI have to say the comments left here are almost as entertaining as your wonderful Magpie! How in the world did you manage to see that feeder???
ReplyDeleteThis was very clever... and awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I could ever do something like this... WOW!
This was my magpie.. in case you wish to read..
It fits perfectly. I really like the image of the red dresses. You have captured the essence of a hummingbird so well because they do appear in glimpses. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Reminds me of a camping trip in New Mexico. The forest was so quiet that the birds hummed awfully loudly, but they were fun to watch.
