Lovely. I feel the same way. I miss getting out to walk in the forest. But my husband thinks it is best for me with a defibrillator and allergies to stay in. I never thought to live through a plague, and I pray this one is short-lived.

Well, those lipless birds make sweet music, don’t they? I loved your poem.
Really lovely Christine – and that last stanza is certainly something I would pray for. Beautifully said and you have made the rhyme sets your own with this poem. Thank you for joining in with the prompt

Thank you Laura. I enjoyed this challenge but it did scare me a little. Can a beak be the equivalent of lips? I hope so 🤣
ever so sweet, record their sound and get your family to play it … great use of the prompt!

Good idea. I was standing outside the house the other day and a bird was singing his heart out. So many different sounds. I looked up to the roof and there was the Mockingbird siting on the chimney stack. It was really lovely 🥰
Birdsong heals many a wound. (K)
Yes, it is very soothing 🥰
I would hope to never be there where birdsongs are no longer heard.
Agreed. I enjoy hearing them so much 🙂

ah I’d have to fetch my camera … these are such beautiful memories that nature imparts 🙂
Very nice!
No sweeter a sound to be sung
From creatures without any lips
And least of all an unusual tongue
Thanks Dwight. I thought this prompt was a toughie! 😕
Yes, I still don’t completely understand it!
🤣 That’s funny Dwight! Sometimes I just can’t get my mind to wrap around some of them too.
Sweet poem and image.
Thanks Sadje 🙂
You’re welcome
I am amazed how they make such sounds without any lips.
I guess their beak is the equivalent of lips 🙂👍
