……
Bird, it’s shocking
………(absurd)
how much you don’t
have to say, just
mumbling away
on another’s song.
I suppose there’s
nothing wrong with
humming along, but
has it really been that
long since you
knew your own
heart?

Thank you SO much, ladies. I’m so honored. I honestly don’t know when I will have/find/make the time to follow the rules – especially “display the award logo on your blog;” that one alone always take me forever to figure out, tech-wise. If I don’t get back to this in the next week or so, please know that I appreciate the honor, and your encouragement, so much. You both inspire, daily.
Oh, such an interesting take & twist on PA’s birdie prompt! (And why should that surprise me??) But, even though I do love mockingbirds, I really LOVE this piece, De! 🙂
Thanks, PSC, so much. I love mocking birds, too, but this just sort of spilled out. 😉
