Cardinal on Snowy Branches by Helen ONeal
I shiver in the snow and cold,
by Lenora Rain-Lee Good
all is white, blindingly so
gray and black hold up the white
a three-dimensional old-time photo.
I long for sepia tones, no dark
glasses required. Snow squeaks
as I step, exhalations add silver
fog as I walk. And then, flame-bright
movement flits through the air,
a red Cardinal blesses me,
makes me smile, makes me warm.
