Where will you sleep
small bluetit?
Not in the reflections of the winter,
neither on the branch of snow,
not in the nothingness of the sky,
nor under the ice-cold bridge,
Where will you sleep
small bluetit?
Surely in your blue
and yellow feathers.

What will you eat
small bluetit?
Not the reflections of the winter
neither the branch of snow,
not the nothingness of the sky
nor the ice-cold city,
What will you eat
small bluetit?
Surely not your blue
and yellow feathers.

This poem really makes good use of repetition for emphasis on winter.  I like it very much and the flash of color in the cold.  

I am reminded of the winter a lone chickadee roosted on a beam of my front porch. There was a sadness to it and I grew attached.  Then one day it flew, and my thoughts were much the same.

This poem really touched me because it spoke to a world that I seek.  I love watching birds and wondering where they go and where they sleep.  Nature is a mystery and I long to always know more.  Thank you for brining beauty and wonder to my evening.

This is super awesome. I find myself refreshed after reading it, even at this ungodly hour.

Fall in love early, fall in love often.
