This is an amazing collection of winter imagery to convey how BRISK & BRIGHT a winter day can be. It's almost as if your poem is steeling itself against the winter harshness, determined to herald the beauty (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I see from your profile, Mary, that, like myself, you are are a photographer and painter. Sometimes we need more than just words to do full justice to our descriptions. This picture is a perfect example ......
We don't have any birds as big and brilliant as this. We have gold finches, bluetits and robins ,which are c
olourful, but tiny. (But then, we are only a small country...... ).

The words themselves create a picture. That has got to be the biggest cardinal I have ever seen.

Cardinals don't care the weather...their song rings out across the land. The cardinal is so prevalent in our area...we are graced with their songs constantly...
and their song as well as their color is brilliant.
Nicely expressed in a short space, Mary,
