A helicopter just buzzed my house and a bunch of birds in my oak tree went apeshit. What do birds think when they see airplanes and helicopters?

The same thing my neighbor's dog sees when I walk in the yard with peanut butter in my hand and my pants around my ankles.

Welcome back.

Make this relevant to literature or I'm locking it.
:iconslather:
I'm trying to get the old creative juices flowing around here by asking people to personify birds and infuse them with thought. Since the format of this forum is text, hence writing, wouldn't exercising the imagination be relevant to it?

The entire site is based around art, so exercising the imagination is relevant to all the gallery forums, not just the writers' forum.

Prompts and writing exercises are fine, but they need to be more explicit so no one thinks you've wandered into the wrong place.

I'll leave it open.

I appreciate you leaving it open, especially if anyone besides Kelly wants to join in.

You make a valid point about the gallery forums. I just figured since this is the writer's forum it's probably frequented by more writers than practitioners of other art forms, so the exercise would be (primarily) for writers. I certainly wouldn't object to photographers, et al, taking a swing at it. But I'll be more specific next time.

You ever lighten up? Like this board is explosive with ideas right now...c'mon. If people had a little more leeway, ideas might actually start flowing instead of regurgitated threads that are about the same thing and worded differently.

Not that something about birds looking at airplanes is good, but it's a start. In what direction, who's to say these kinds of things.

Is this thread hurting the integrity of the writing board right now?

Examine that question closesly.

Now, now. A talking bird was good enough for Warner Bros., as long as he played second-fiddle to a talking rabbit.

Audrey's just doing the duties that come with the hat, and she's leaving the thread open. Now all the kids can come in and play if they want to. :dance:

All I'm saying is that writing exercises should be labeled as such, so that people give imaginative answers instead of saying, "Helicopters make noises that frighten birds, duh." Works out a lot nicer for everyone.

As for lightening up, pot -> kettle?
