Valentine’s Song Easily shattered Fragile as a dove’s white wings Yet trust, forthcoming For such is hope’s slender limb Holding to such faith as this Life, so delicate Yet resounds in red bird’s breast With such a sweet song Turn away not, harbingers Returning faith on spring’s wind Such is winter’s last Folly, fulsome play of heart Giving take of sprites Playing the seasons so well Giving spring thus its heart beat Easily shattered, Even Red’s fragility Stood the coldest test To see him as Valentine For he sings to one true love  |

You'd be amazed how un-fragile those wings can be. Heavy human hands can break things even with the best of intentions, so we aren't something to compare it to....the bird is built for two things, strength and lightness, while we're built for only one. Birds will likely be around when we're gone, the ones we don't take with us in our suicide..... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

"Such is winter’s last Folly, fulsome play of heart Giving take of sprites Playing the seasons so well" Now still does the brook Babble beneath gelid crust World of gray and white But chirps above a minstrel Red as a valentine heart Beautiful poem and picture, Kari... ___________ice/ford ><> |

Thank you all. As Ed pointed out, birds are a lot stronger than we give them credit for. Yesterday's writing was early in the morning, the chirping was a bit faint, and the word "fragile" came to mind. Perhaps because it has been a longer winter than we have experienced in some time in our neck of the woods, I am not sure, but this was how the poem laid itself out. [Sometimes they do that, you know...just write themselves.] I hope each and every one of you enjoy today, it's meaning, and carry it on throughout the year. Or at least until Christmas.  |

Nothing quite as beautiful as birds that mate for life, is there? This is lovely and a great departure from the usual Valentine! Hope you have a wonderful one, dear lady. Corinne |

Thank you, Ladies. Cardinals seem to hold a certain part of me, especially in the bittersweet temperatures of late winter/early spring. |
