Seeing Red

shifting shades of green
               kinglets flitting in the trees
                    ruby crests flashing

Jeff Connelly Date: 12/8/2019 5:42:00 PM Very lovely Maureen. I had to look up kinglet first; now I know that they are in the warbler family. Warblers were always so varying in color, but always sweet in their songs. So is this haiku. Thank you. Login to Reply Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 12/9/2019 7:10:00 AM I thought I was 'seeing things' the first time I saw them. Blinking red polkadots right in front of me. Just spectacular ;))), Thank you Jeff, xomo

Rico Leffanta Date: 12/8/2019 3:40:00 PM I just received a Christmas card with a USPS stamp of a cardinal perched on a fir with snowy-white background. In life, the view can warm your heart, but on a stamp, it just looks bloody cold, so good thing you have words for it! Aloha!

Send me a palm tree ~x
