In the winter landscape
as the sharp cold wind blows
small birds come to the feeder
as the sun glows
The robin comes
bringing a splash of red
colorful contrast to the snow
eating a piece of bread
The finches come together
red, yellow, and green
along with some sparrows
small yet somehow seen
The thrush come singing
delighted to search for insects
poking holes in the snow
a delightful effect
Life in the winter
when the land is asleep
songs to brighten the morning
the melodies are deep
Calling to others
conveying the location of food
water flowing from a fountain
life is good
Flying away
spirits free in the wind
on to a warm nest
biding time till winter ends

Loved this Debbie. I miss the variety of birds coming into our garden. It was lovely to see the swallows and kingfishers when we were on the boat, and the swans used to bring their babies alongside every morning. Thanks for taking part.
Thank you. My pleasure. It sounds so peaceful to see all those birds on a boat and the elegance of the swans with their babies. Looking forward to spring and the renewal of life. Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful day!
You too Debbie.
