Ciao mystery poet..
I gave you your 11th vote!
I love nature and your narrative was engaging ..
Freedom comes at a cost , getting through winter and cold Spring days is tough...
I love how you had the tiny critter tells his struggle from his prospect.
Hunker down another night .. I like this line...
To us red looks so eye catching in the snow but I imagine also for predators ( sigh)

Glad you enjoyed this bit of fantasy. We do need to get out of our heads sometimes and just meander...and watch how nature survives in spite of the madness of men.
Comment from Polly Dolly
Well done with this! I can really feel the rhythm and beat of this. Love the fresh perspective of the cardinal, the poet is not the observer but the observed. Shows a lot of thought went into composing this. Good luck in the contest.

Nice work, I enjoyed this poem. As a nature lover, I could picture the cardinals at my feeders along with "friends". "In my dreams, I'll dine on seeds with the sunshine on my back." Love it. Good luck in the contest.

Wild life sometimes suffer in the cold weather and those who cannot fly long distances brave the winter instead, we know not how harsh surviving is for these poor birds. I enjoyed your finely rhymed nature write, love Dolly x

Thank you, Dolly. Not sure if I nailed the trochaic meter - but I do enjoy trying new formats. Always nice to hear from you.
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written Poem in Trochaic Meter about the cc old day in March when the ground is still hard from the snow. There are still no food to feed from because it's still too cold.

Nice entry for the contest here. I tried a few ideas for this one and I haven't been able to pull it off yet. The cardinal in the picture looks as if it is the chilly one that is writing this poem. Nice job giving the bird a "voice."

Whimsical title for this unique "bird's eye" view--I appreciate the literal imagery--nothing pretentious or obscure--thanks for notes on this challenging form.

This poem is Exceptionally good. The meter works correctly and the the rhyming scheme is a plus. The story line makes sense, too.
Good luck in the contest.
