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!

I do so agree. One of my favorite things is to sit on my garden swing and listen to the birds and bees and watch the butterflies in my garden. Beautiful description. God Bless, JB

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.
