Prompt #42 For the Birds

I know in the past and just recently, birds have been the subject of many of our pieces. A little bird told me this might be a good time for something light and free range. Our schedules are hectic, our brains on overload, some days running around like chickens with our heads cut off.

Peruse this list of bird idioms and find one that sings to you. You can create any kind of writing the idiom inspires--a cock and bull story, a poem about a time you were as happy as a lark, a personal essay about a time you chickened out.

You can carefully plan your writing out, or just pick an idiom and wing it. Or, spread your wings and write anything you want about birds. What better inspiration at a time when flying away seems so appealing?

I can't wait to see how everyone spreads her wings!
