Carpe Diem #108, Birdsong
I immediately thought of one of my favorite jazz tunes, "Birdland," when I saw today's prompt. So I hope you enjoyed my take on a little birdsong today.
I did !! As long as " Bird' sings, there will be birdsong!!

"Bird god of jazz..." is a creative vivid introductory image! Love it!
ReplyDeleteNicely written ... I hadn't thought at Jazz ... very well done I like the way you've used our prompt.
ReplyDeleteclever use of prompt with the first....Do you remember the English band 'The Yardbirds', or are you too young?!
ReplyDeleteWonderful different take on the prompt. Not a big jazzfan myself... But I have seen a few live.
