Rise to Shine

splendid fairywren in the long sunshine of life songs keen as a knife crimson sky or dawn once cream moon's done her dreaming silk roses preening airy fairy spell as the summer heat assaults a thing no one faults diamond gemmed blue wings smooth and easy hopping grace when jade frog croaks bass

Congratulations on your winning work in Brian's contest. Way to go. Great snapshot of the bird above. I have never seen one like that in my area. I need to look it up to see what specie. Sara K

Heartfelt thanks for your kind words, Sara. The splendid fairywren is native to Australia. After seeing the photo of this gorgeous bird, I decided to write this poem. Best of wishes. :)
