A Rhapsodic Delight

A rhapsodic delight in a carmine feathered coat,
a cardinal sits amid the verdigris limbs;
with breast puffed out
he croons lovely tones as
vibrations of harmony 
to my ears;
Ah, nature is bliss!

Indeed, ML, nature is pure bliss with no affectations. It is always genuine and what you see is always truthful. Such a pretty picture of a cardinal on a tree limb, singing! Blessings to you!

Lovely as always M.L. Cardinals are so beautiful. Another bird I love to hear is the sweet melodic song of a Robin. You always miss them when they aren't around. God Bless, JB

We say in Malta you eat food either raw or burnt :) I don't have time to read all your poems. I will try to read some over a period of time. I am still sick after my fall. I always loved your poems. This poem is short but sweet. The ending is perfect.
