after the Christmas lights
and before the thaw
a secret kiss
betwixt
mistletoe
and snowflake
two cardinals
weaving romance
in dots and dashes
great staccato leaps
of burbling gossip
on a white parchment day
in the middle of a fairyland
I transcribe them faithfully
including an incredible bit
at the end
with a berry

Yes maybe the rodent got it right this year..Cardinals coming this way are the first sign that it's changing...but when you were done being a voyeur poet did you tell them to get a room? {'-)}}}----
You've been watching the cardinals courting too. Lana and I get a lot of fun out of watching that great dance.
Mark, shameless beats, those birdies. They didn't even seem to mind my being there.
Charles, they're so beautiful to watch (and listen to) on a snowy day.
This has melted my heart, Sarah! :-)
I love cardinals. There's a pair coming to my back yard for a few years now and I'm always so happy to see them. I heard birds chirping this morning - surprisingly, because it's very, very cold again - and I wonder if it was them... :-)
Vesper, I love them too.
Cardinals and blue jays put the splash of color in winter, but cardinals' chirps are a lot more attractive than blue jays'! Especially early in the morning. :)
I'll take the blue jays over Hens and Pigeons that wake me up.
Hens have lost all track of time. They're supposed to shout at sunrise, and not an hour before it.
One pigeon is cute. A hundred of them, are menacing.
On any other day, I'd try and look at their beauty, but today (one of the pigeons took a poop over me, while I was driving to work), I just can't.
You're basically doing your own comedy routine here.
