My Beautiful Cardinal - Women's Musings

Share our stories on social media:

At first light,
the red bird flew
to our brown bird feeder
in our back yard,
to dine on a breakfast
of mixed bird seeds,
we provide year round.

A beautiful male cardinal,
its sanguine red plumage,
topped with a crimson crown.

Its vermilion beak,
surrounded
by a jagged black line
with two beady black eyes above,
placed on each side of his head.

Its wing feathers,
of a different ruddy hue
have longer and shorter lengths.

Many times, I see the vivid cardinal,
throughout the day,
feasting on delicious wild bird seed.

Again, in the morning,
at first light,
I spot my cardinal,
beautiful and blazing.

It is then that a smile appears on my face!
