Tweetling’s fiery breast, conspicuously lost from ago’s vibrant spring, smarts as flake-fall starts. But, gelid breeze that does numb its feet and pause its song can only frost as fleetingβ€”no match for a feathery flame of hope whose heart burns to survive a season longer. ; )

Penguin’s cousins rest upon the rocks,

Chirper’s chirps drowned by waves’ splashy knocks.

Finding shelter is duet’s next task;

Scene has neither twigs nor up-washed casque.

So, birbies molt all their downy bestβ€”

To make cushy an unideal nest. ; )
