Wary Warbler
A wary warbler, I’ve been known
To sing in solitude.
No, I’m not tone deaf. Hold the phone.
I don’t mean to be rude.
It’s just that I prefer to croon
Away from open ears.
I learn the lyrics, belt a tune –
No need for cheers or jeers.
My favorite solos I have sung
While piloting my car.
I’ve let ‘er rip, busted a lung,
On road trips flung afar.
My music is a secret still.
Don’t try to catch my song.
I’ll chirp and chant and hum and trill
With none to sing along.

Of course I want to say something brilliant about your poem, but I'm so tired from the A to Z stuff. It reminds me of Shel Silverstein's' playful poetry. Seriously, you did 10 blogs in last year's A to Z and are doing 5 this year? What? Are you hooked up to your computer at the waist? LOL!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing great w/ the A to Z Challenge.

ReplyDeleteThis was really really lovely and I loved the image you used. I too, love to sing in the car, alone! Lisa, co-host AtoZ 2015, @ http://www.lisabuiecollard.com
