Heart of a Cardinal

Charmed by a Valentine Cardinal on February 14, 2025. 

The Sun is Bright with Passionate Light... 

Looking for His Mate with dusty Rose Breasts 

A Quest to be blessed beyond the Nests where Spring will 

bring chirping fledglings ready to fly through Orchards of 

Peaches and Green Apples   

Embracing the Romance...

I can't wait for spring when all the bugs get busy amongst the flowers and trees. The extreme cold has lost its charm on me.

I especially love the picture you used. Good stuff man.

dear Poet... as we age the Winters are more difficult. Seeing a Red Cardinal the morning of Valentines in the USA was an Omen of Goodwill and blessings from above. Praying for an early Spring. tenderly, Pat

This is lovely video about why insects, bees especially, are so attracted to flowers. It really is amazing how they see the world, and why these flowers look the way they do... it's an amazing evolutionary dance plants and insects get down with. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1TUDFCOwjY

I love this great mix of rhyme and whimsy.
Made me smile this morning.

dearest Trace... with signs of an early Spring... we will plant vegetables and prepare an Orchard. Lovely to read your words. softly, Pat

Loved the multiple rhyme in this poem it raps and falls on the ear with a satisfaction that fills the heart. Nice Pat

as e.e. wrote..."in just spring, or"
Love finds its nest in spring and settles towards summer.

dear Jacob... your Review is a Charm in that you have a way of appreciating the Nature of simple beauty of Vintage Poets such as e.e. Cummings and others. May we always know the Heart of Birds on Wing and hold on to "Hope". gently, Pat

The coming of spring sound amazing in this poem and the cardinals finding his mate

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Beauty... to see a Red Cardinal the morning of Valentines Day from our second floor Window was very romantic.. as He slew onto a Branch of a fragile Crepe Myrtle Tree with a throbbing Chest of Amore'

My mom has a bird feeder and we often see cardinals with their females out the window.

With spring just around the corner (allegedly) what a lovely introduction into the season that warms our own cheeks and turns our attention more and more to amour and light, replacing cold and darkness.
I'm actually looking forward to springs thaw and losing a few layers if clothing, which will hopefully stop me looking like an overfilled don't! 😃

I meant donut! 😃

We had eleven inches of Snow which was like a Cold and frozen Skating Pond. It is melting slowly like a Heart on Valentines Day. Dropping layers of warm clothes will bathe your Arms with Sunshine. Thanks for sharing Poetry. softly, Pat
