Nette Onclaud Poet Quatrain

Notes About The Poem

Cardinal In Spring

A cardinal whips its trilled zest
Where fields extend into a mile;
That upon bright April's request
My toes wiggle here for a while...
I pause as sunrise paints hued light
By rolling through ridges, how free!
Till more birds arrive come near night
When dreamy hours grant spring's marquee.

Andrew Fairchild February 17, 2019 at 3:03 AM This has such a 'vibrant' scent of morning to it! In Colorado, where I grew up, we had the call of the Lark Bunting in the morning, and this makes me hear that again, and inspires an old longing to be up and out at dawn. Beautiful word choices, strong sensory component, altogether Wonderful!
