Wrick — any idea how many birds there actually are in that picture? I tried to count but they kept moving. 😉
And Angie — believe it or not that picture was not even designed as an illustration for this poem, which Rick hadn’t even read…he sent it to me and I was like, Um, I know what I’m doing with this…
ha. yeah. i tried counting too. i think they may be easier to count in the original photo – but then… this is only a part of the original photo. the full photo has considerably more birds.
i get 11 birds easily in this. then sometimes i think there is a 12th bird and i count again… and sometimes it’s not there. again.
that 12th bird is the one that keeps moving i think…
there were several reasons why i cropped like this. the bottom line is i liked this composition (okay and there were a few other considerations too).
you saw a great match up with your words and imo the match you made is just about as perfect as it gets exactly as it is – with and without that 12th bird just as you’ve written it.

This is nice, very clever!
cool!
(I’m playing with it in my head — putting the words on top of the birds.)
😉
yeah. this is such a terrific word play. way cool.
Thanks, Jon, Angie, Wrick…
