Attraction is in the eye of the beholder
feisty cardinal in his coat of crimson
flutters to and fro through all seasons
standing on feet of
dignity
brilliant red, not stained with
ego pride..
shock of color, warrants notice
defending his territory, he will
fight even the ghost of himself
rescue missions, fire truck red
who will be lost
who will be saved
can anyone
determine the cost
blowing in the breeze a new song
picking up the beat, this fellow
has spunk, filled with some funk
along with peeps, pips and warbles
if you listen closely you will hear
his message as it echoes in the land
cheer, cheer , cheer
nearby the caw of the black crow
crumbling steeple in the distance who
will come, who will go
who will remember all those
lost souls, the day the earth
quaked and swallowed dreams
whole..
just as a baby bird
ate its first worm...
