Welcome to Wordplay Thursday!
Here’s a writing prompt for you. It’s a simple fill-in-the-blank. You can use one word or several. Feel free to get as crazy, genre-appropriate, or as imaginative as you want. The point is to get the creative juices flowing. And it’s a good thing to dig deeper, so don’t stop at the first idea that hits you. Try coming up with at least five things.
“The bird sings outside her window like _____.”
I’ll give you an example to get you started:
“The bird sings outside her window like he’s wooing her.”
I’d love to hear what you come up with, so please share in the comments. Oh, and please keep your posts below an R-rating. It’s a family show, after all!

The bird sings outside her window like he has a message just for her, like he’s calling out her name, like he’s lost in the dark and could use a guide tonight, like he’s on his last wing and he needs someone to be there, to be his everything (thinking of Robin Williams passing a bit so these ideas are on the melancholic side)
Got some positive ones and some sad ones.
Sad ones first:

Positive ones:
