Snowbirds
Facing winter's wrath
with a warm song in their hearts
frozen to the corebarefoot, not afraid
The junco rides the cold breeze
his down heats him upThe chick-a-dee-dee
pecks at the bark of a tree
finding a morselWouldn't Florida
or California be
better for matingOh but by the time
they arrive the season for
breeding is overFacing winter's wrath
with a warm song in their hearts
frozen to the coreThe Junco and the
little Chick-a-dee-dee-dee
flitter in the snow

I like it. Can't remember what a junco is though.
you are so funny. Meatloaf and recipes.
This is beautiful! You could put this one to music!
I love the birds who stay and endure the Winter with me!
HUGS!!!

Beautifully written.....Brings a smile to those who read.....
You should put this to music, along with some soft rumbles of a drum! Love it.
I found out that if I don't laugh at myself everyday I would cry so I do laugh a lot.
Lately I have been watching that video and song Happy by Ferril Williams and it's my theme song lately.
we see Snowbirds down in south Texas cause it's warmer down in the gulf but I'm up here in North Texas.
My three children had their starts during vacations
Love will keep them warm!!! Great poem!!
