Fluttered Red ~*Marge Tindal*~ As I watched this day get dressed I realized how I'd been blessed Fluttered red, on Cardinal wing flit the morning of my Spring Russet-hued mate in close pursuit Chirping watch - how very cute In just a merry eye-of-blinking Oh, my gosh - what was I thinking ? Mother Nature dressed the scene decking it out in Irish Green What then now, this fluttered red Where the heck had I been led ? Ah, upon a sunflower's crest I found nature's seed the Cardinal liked best Then I knew - I had no choice but in my heart to show rejoice For just a moment to share the pleasure of nature's colors in full-measure Across the Spring of Irish Green spread came these beauties of fluttered red ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

When I started smiling after the first stanza I knew we were going to have fun with this one...and we did! The rhythm was right on, the picture painted was perfect, and what a light, airy Spring poem, I loved it! |

This was great! The use of coloured fonts aided the poem nicely. I should try that sometime! See you around. ~Allan If I had your eyes, I'd be blind. For I can only see out of my own. ~~Carly Van Dort |

Melissa~ I have nicknamed them - Scarlet On Wings. Such beauty and I'm glad to have shared them with you. Claire~ What a sweetie you are ! Glad you enjoyed this little red treasure. SEA~ I'm just tickled red that you liked it. Mysteria~ Outside my writing room window - the Cardinals come each day. What pleasure they give me. But ... the inspiration for this piece came on my drive to work this morning when a Cardinal swooped in front of my car and suddenly swerved to miss the windshield ! That began the fluttered red and it grew from there. Allan~ Good idea ... let me know when you do it ! Thanks for the red .... er, I mean read !  Ah, JanetMarie~ It IS Spring ! And the woods are full of red-in-flutter.  ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

How wonderful, Marge--I don't think I've ever seen a Cardinal...they are beautiful, as is your poem. |

Well concieved!...............and that Janet leaves some great replies doesn't she..I have to smile when I read some of them.....take care Marge!! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

Marge, they most certainly are...and are mixing their sounds with the mourning doves... |

That does it! *G* I need to be outside appreciating this beautiful day... I need to have a computer with hours and hours to play... I need to smell the flowers and hear the songs of birds... To sit here with this werk monster is really quite absurd! *G* I love your poem, Marge... and the beautiful pictures you and JM provided... cardinals are so lovely... so are your words. *S* |
