The male cardinals-with bright
red feathers plain for all to see
Draws attention to himself for the female
He is an absolute natural beauty
The female cardinal-with muted
green feathers is not so great
No one barely pays her attention
as we gaze at her ruby mate
My Christmas tree will be adorned with
reproductions. The males I simply adore!
Over the years I've accumulated
a lot of them. Red cardinals galore!

- Comment from author about the poem: It\\\'s hard to convey the beauty of a bird without a picture. This bright red bird is astonishing in a winter scene.

Well you've done them proud - pity we don't get them in the UK - great work Christina.
Thank you Michael-your compliment means a lot! Appreciated very much!
No picture required Christina, you did both birds justice. Beautiful birds and a beautiful poem.
Thank you AP! I really appreciate the compliment! Thanks again!
I can imagine how lovely your Christmas tree looks with those birds.
Oh it does look lovely! I'll try to post a picture of it this year. Thanks for your wonderful reply!
Cardinals sound wonderful and very colourful Christina - - your tree will look really pretty filled with bright reproductions - a lovely read.
Thanks so much Fay! I appreciate the read and reply very much! I'll try to post a picture of my tree this year with a poem. (too early yet 🙂 Thanks again!
I have only seen cardinals in captivity, they must be wonderful to see in the wild. Good colourful write Christina.
Against the backdrop of snow they are truly remarkable! Thanks for the compliment! Appreciate the read and reply.
Lovely write Christina.
Thanks so much orchidee!
Christina,
Beautiful write about these brilliantly colored songbirds! Seeing them on a blanket of snow IS a sight to behold!
Your Christmas tree will be so beautiful!
Thanks so much Laura! I appreciate your kind words. Maybe I can post a picture of my tree when I get it up sometime. Thanks so much again for your kind reply!
You’re welcome!
That’s a great idea, Christina! I would love to see your Christmas tree adorned with the beautiful cardinals!
Thanks Christina! I often admire cardinals.
Thanks w c! I appreciate the read and the nice reply!
THANKS FOR SHARING CHRIS ~ My fave American Bird and I think the State Bird of at least SIX STATES ! Because the Cardinal is not indigenous to the UK we always use British Robins with a Red / Orange Breast as part of our Christmas Decorations and on CARDS and STAMPS ! I'm sorry you could not post a picture. If you have a portfolio of PICTURES (from GOOGLE etc) under your email ~ you can download them onto the poem using the BROWSE button ~ try it ! However your lovely Poem enabled us all to visualise a beautiful CARDINAL from our memory ! Cardinal Hugs ~ BRIAN "Bird Man of England !"
Hi! I appreciate your reading my poem and your wonderful reply. Interesting about the robin! I might post a cardinal later, then it will be too late probably. Thanks for the compliment. Sisterly hugs-Christina
