*Laurie Kolp Poetry*: Taking Flight

Taking Flight

Just as a cardinal splashes red
flying on a rainy day,
you didn't go unnoticed
when you flounced away.

Glenn Buttkus said...: Well tamped poetics, Laurie.
Red cardinals have always been
on of my favorite birds, but I'm
a sucker for red convertibles
too. Never did get a red umbrella,
but have several red ball caps,
and I have perfected a wicked
flounce.; August 30, 2011 at 12:32 PM
