Blackbird at Midnight

A/N:  The above video is supposed to be a blackbird singing at night...or at least that's what I searched for.  I would greatly appreciate it if a bird expert could help me confirm whether the bird is indeed of the blackbird variety.


Blackbird 𓅫

in the middle of the night

singing, "it'll be a wonderful day 

when the sun comes back up again"


Midnight ☾

is the time that I'm writing this at

is the time blackbirds have tea time

is the time I wish I would just fall asleep at


One day ☼

I'm taking a walk in the woods 

I reach the "twilight zone" 

where no natural light reaches 

I turn to my right 

a wise-looking birb 

stares me dead in the eye

(He gave me the stink-eye)

Before he can take flight 

"Est-ce que tu m'aimes?" 

escapes my mouth

But the raven ignores my question 

and instead responds with his own  

"What time is it?" 𓅛


A/N:  Message me if you'd like to turn my poetry into a song.  I'll give you my blessing; I just want to get to oversee the process.  Maybe we can do a duet or a harmony together.

If you couldn't tell, I draw on inspiration from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland quite a bit :)  Tell me: Are you a fan of AIW ?

Fun fact about me: I am the proud owner of a big book of birds and a cute, pocket-sized guide to identifying bird calls, and yet, I can't for the life of me confidently say if the bird (birds??) in the video is actually a specimen of the blackbird species.
