Card'nal red
In the midst of icy glare
Sign of hope
~~~~~~~
This gentleman brightened my day yesterday as we were again confined to home, not because of pandemic but because of the weather. Though the ice is lovely to see it is Mother Nature's reminder that she is in control and you have to follow her rules. We were fortunate that we did not lose power but we were nonetheless careful and followed "Mother's" rules. Yes, we did!

Thanks be to God!

Please visit recuerda mi corazon for Haiku My Heart. There is always more beautiful words there to enchant and encourage!!!
Beautiful winter scene & awesome Haiku (as always).
ReplyDeleteYou wonder why power outages always come when we need it most? I know why, but still wonder.
Bless your hearts... if it's not one thing keeping you in, it's another. But, spring will come and hopefully the pandemic will be a faint memory and life will go on. Hang in there, friend. Hugs.

This is such a gorgeous photo Cathy! And your haiku and commentary are wonderful to receive. Stay cozy warm as you follow the Mother's rules and share this hope with us all!
ReplyDeleteMother nature rules in the Netherlands too, but she doesn't send such beautiful birds... oh, that's not true, there are other birds here living in the big Oak tree and those are beautiful too (but not red...) Hang in there sweetie, Spring will come! Big hug from Holland!
ReplyDeletePretty Cardinal, love the poem. We may have some icy weather coming later today.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day to you! Take care, happy weekend!
Gorgeous!
