Can one be faulted
Seeing blooms red in color
Can these draw the crowd?
Not anybody
But the will of survival
Prompts a little bird
And in so doing
Creates a classic pose for
an enthusiast

ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous share, Hank. This little bird is so perky and the flowers make a striking display. You have turned the image into metaphor very well.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! You captured it nice!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photo you found, Hank, and you've reflected it so nicely in verse.

Hank, whoever captured that moment deserves an award. Your depiction of that gutsy little guy's dare, to try to outshine the flowers, is great. Tenacious bird, and you know what? He succeeded, for me.
ReplyDeleteLoved the whole observation, tip to toe. Thanks, Hank! Amelita
