I love this, Kimmy, one for the library. I love cardinals, and I've yet to read a better written poem to honor them, love the classical style of this, excellent.

Beautiful Kimmyfriend ....
All good things to your tribe this new year.
The image is like a nice plump breast -
to be gazed at in wonder.

Reminds me of NY when I first saw a Red Cardinal. I had no idea such dick dicks exist. Every time we tried to take its picture the bloody thing knew and flew.
