A Bird Named Johann Wolfgang Von G. Comments

Thank you H. for direction and the diversity of this poem.. does remind me about NZ parrots.. (the least colourful in the world) .. but also the most fascinating.. just like the many facets that make-up both poetry and poets.. aroha xx PS.. am a little 'Kakariki' (green parrot) about this one...

interesting poem i must say. I think I must have miss a lot in this place. Wish I could have got here sooner :) KK

Oh yes........one of your ''shorter'' pieces huh? ? Very funny! I think this was a wonderful story Herbert. I love how it came around to P/H. I didn't expect that. A good lesson in there too... Great poem. Sincerely, Mary

Hilarious and insightful. Some stinging lines, but that's the whole point. It certainly gets me. Julia

This is hilarious like a short story, flows fast and kept me amazed, even more when you referred suddenly to RE! Linda

Herbert, as usual you have delighted me. What fun...and what a lot of rhyme! I'm not sure how I feel about having my name dropped in a poem so full of bird poo...but everything came out alright so it's ok. :) Raynette

Has a good flow, and the morals of the poem are creativitly lay'd down.

Good one Herbert, despite my disdain toward narrative poetry. But I believe we've been down that road before? As that towering intellect Paul Hogan, might say in the circumstances: 'avagoodone.' Cheers, Jerry

Thank you Marcy, if you look in the forum you will see that I wrote this, tried to submit and LOST it! So, you might know how hard it is to rewrite a poem from memory.... Good rhyming stuff you posted here, I hope you like more things about Germany, please read Wilhelm Busch! Also, ich moechte gern Herbert heissen, keine Abkuerzung. Best wishes herbert
