WANE BITTER SEASON

Wane bitter season,

dare Snowdrops to appear, before

winters lingering bite

LITTLE ROBIN REDBREAST

 

“Little Robin redbreast

Where can you be?

Dear little Robin

Come and say hello to me”

 

“I can’t “says the Robin

“The winter is preventing me”

 

“Little Robin redbreast

Where can you be?

Dear little Robin

Come and say hello to me”

 

“I can’t say hello to you

Because I’m frozen to this tree”

RED BREASTED ROBIN

 

Red Breasted Robin

Sitting on the fence

With snow falling

God that bird is dense

 

Sitting out there exposed

Out in all weathers

Trying to look cute

As it freezes its feathers

YOU ARE THE BONNIEST CHILD

 

You are the bonniest child

Cute from head to toe

You melt our hearts

As you joyfully go

For your first time

Out to play in the snow
