Lovely pairing. I can picture the intense brightness of the snow and the robin standing out, visually as well as audibly.

Ah, dear Michelle, your exquisite poem is so vibrant yet so softly beautiful. I adore the contrast of Winter white with Robin red. Your brilliant artistry captures a January dawn in all its snowy glory. Best wishes for a win and warmest wishes for you, my friend.. ~Susan

Funny, it actually doesn't snow much in my neck of the woods (Portland OR) but I liked the image of a red robin in a winter white field so I went with it! Thank you as always for your warmth and encouragement, my friend~
