Poets & Artists

 

We saw a hawk resting

atop a fence post,

and though we see many hawks

 

we noted this 

for it looked so stark,

even helpless, against the cold

 

and wintry scene,

and I thought 

of being helpless and cold,

 

while you noticed how the feathers

ruffled in the wind.

Poets & Artists oftentimes project their feelings upon nature, don't they? Love the way you've encapsulated something that is quite transient in verse.

An astute observation.

There's art in poetry and poetry in art. How lucky the subjects both have a muse. Maybe we could bring philosophy in and day the wind is given purpose by the feathers, or the feathers are made glorious by the wind...

And then there's the beauty in both.
What a blessing!
