Sangfroid

Fall.
Sweet songs
fill the air,
in icy times.
'Neath magenta skies
stoic redbird dances,
on bare twigs, to his own song.
He revels in blue stars and snow
awaiting first rays of coral sun.
Touched by a mystery lady of green,
who still wields magic, in wintry weather!
Happy people pass, dressed for the cold
Purple butterflies lie waiting
for gold days, like those we knew-
of singing sunflowers
and cherry sunsets,
sunshine, peaches
scent whispers
mint hues,
Spring.

Gershon Wolf Date: 4/21/2025 7:17:00 PM I knew 'sangfroid' couldn't possibly be Viennese, 'cos when Sigmund "Freud sang," he was always hyper. ~ Mr. Triple C -- Calm, Cool, and Catastrophic Login to Reply Evelyn Judy Buehler Date: 4/22/2025 10:22:00 PM I am absolutely flabbergasted!! I honestly did not know that Freud sang. It could be from love of song, that his greatest talent sprang. ~ Somewhat stupefied
