King Of The Blackbirds By Angie Livingstone

Introduction

This is my thirtieth piece inspired by Angie Livingstone's amazing artwork. You can find her on Facebook on the link below.

And here is her work available on Etsy:

The music I have chosen is "Blackbiird", BeyoncΓ©'s take on "Blackbird" by The Beatles.

Here a real blackbird sings:

King Of The Blackbirds

πŸŒœπŸ”†πŸ•ŠοΈβ–Όβ–²β–ΌπŸ•ŠοΈπŸ”†πŸŒ›

On The Standing Stone See The Blackbird King

He Watches Over His Magical Realm

If You Listen Closely, You'll Hear Him Sing

And To You Wonderful Tales He Will Tell

πŸŒœβ–Όβ–²β–ΌπŸŒ›

In A Golden Light, Flies The Blackbird King

These Are The Night Skies In Which He Has Flown

Every Morning You'll Always Hear Him Sing

To Bring The Morning Chorus, Breaking Dawn

πŸŒœβ–Όβ–²β–ΌπŸŒ›

The Blackbird King Under The Moon And Stars

Close To This Sacred Place, The Dolmen Stone

A Place Of Magic And Earthly Power

Come Close, Hear The Blackbird King Sing His Song

πŸŒœβ–Όβ–²β–ΌπŸŒ›

On The Standing Stone See The Blackbird King

If You Listen Closely, You'll Hear Him Sing

    Awww I wanna hear him sing too. Loved your poem!

  • I never think of blackbirds singing (I expect them to caw like crows), but they do indeed. Nicely poeticized.

    What a great poem. Blackbirds if you look and listen closely this bird is quite beautiful in many ways. Good job.
