Poem Artwork

Red Rage

His rage is as red as the plumage he wears,
The cardinal sits by my window and angrily stares.

At his image in the pane of my sliding glass door.
For a moment, until he can stand no more.

His attack is swift and precisely timed,
To ward off his enemy so perfectly mimed.

To guard his territory and his mate so pure,
From an adversary relentless and ever so near.

Day after day, and week after week,
He fights on regardless and never shows meek.

Alas, like El Cid, the cardinal's a fool,
Jousting with windmills, technology's tool.

His rage is his enemy and he never learns,
In the looking glass, himself he scorns.

Ronald...your head is amazing. I enjoyed every line and the education too. This could be applied in so many different ways....dimensional poetry at its best.

I enjoyed this more than you know :)

Thank You,
Emilie

To me, this is symbolic and applies to more than the cardinal. Well done! Love and peace, Regis.

Poor thing. He's conditioned by his own instincts to react the same way every time. You've written a paen to free will.

Oh, my, Ronald.. This is a most effective 'message poem', simply written, deeply felt.. like the fables that gently but unmistakenly teach the kind of truth we sometimes shy away from.. I love the purity of your rhymes and rhythm.. In truth, I got quite immersed. Great read! katy xox.
