SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!
The Song Challenge: In Challenge 18, Eluned said "The woods would be silent indeed if only the best birds
sang." Bradypus suggested this quote as a Challenge! idea. So,
what song can you Challenge!rs write with that quote as the premise?
Should A Bird Not Sing, The Wing Would Whisper On The Wind by Spider Tom
Who could be the judge
Of just what, sounds the best.
Each listening, so differently
Who'd rise to take the test?
We mortal things have got a voice,
To use, or to abuse,
Who'd shut their mouth,
Or hold their tongue
Is fear, their best excuse?
The birds, will sing upon some branch,
To green leaves as they hang,
The Cockatoo, will screach a scream,
The Bell-bird has just rang,
The Raven spoke its warning,as
The Sparrow just, tweet-tweeted,
They, each of them< would sing their song,
Not, one of them competed.
All equal in existance,
In song, The woodland rang,
The forrest,would be silant,
If, just, the "best bird",sang
There's always a spider in the tree.
