Winter Again


Flying creatures, unfrozen
clutter and dance at the feeders.
Deer huddle in snowhills
only head and ears silhouetted
against stark ice-blue.
Picnic tables smothered against white
and a scarlet bit
of cardinal on a barren twig.

    Lovely. I love the first two lines and the closing detail about the cardinal.

    Stunning photo! (Now THERE's contrast!) A fitting complement to the poem, and vice-versa. Cheers.

    what a splendid contrast between color and the white winter, between motion and stillness. lovely language. elegant yet sparse to fit the theme. rolls on the tongue with ease.

If you can't say something nice don't say anything at all - JUST KIDDING! Let it all out.
