Notes About The Poem

Written on February 12, 2024

He'll Plead Insanity

In the stillness of a cool, spring morning, A cardinal’s heart is heavy – he’s heartbroken. Softly calling for the lover he is mourning. Thumps noisily against the clear glass pane, Reflecting the scarlet bird, lost in his grief, Striking the window, again and again – is he insane?

Feelings of lost are not for humans only. It's always sad to see the anguish being displayed after a loss. It can easily appear to be insanity; and may be in some extreme cases. Thanks for sharing your heartfelt poetry with us, my friend. Hugs, Bill
