I'm a little birdy...
My wife and I listen to a little birdy outside our living room window everyday. What's unusual about this birdy is that it chirps all day around the yard, and then sits in its nest right outside our window and chirps all night - 24 hours a day. We wonder if it ever sleeps.
Imagine you are the little birdy and write a short story or poem about why you sing all day and night.

I want to ask them / how did you learn grace / do you nest in it / do you ever want to be bigger / like a tall tree / a large hawk / did you learn your defenses / how come / can you teach me / can I fight back / how long can I chase caterpillars / how long can I live alone / without shelter / with only beetles in my mouth / are you tired / are you lonely / how come / did your mother leave you too / once you fell and lost her smell / do you die too / once you’re touched
