Red Robin.

Why, Red Robin, do you stay so strong?
Your composure redolent of evergreen,
Whilst winter keeps moving along.
Why, Red Robin, do you stay so strong?
I wonder if this is where you belong
Beside this seasons murder scene.
Why, Red Robin, do you stay so strong?
Your composure redolent of evergreen.

I agree with e-bird, the form works very well with this. It is rich with atmosphere, and poignant.

I enjoyed Red Acer, John, and I like this too! It's an interesting meditation, enhanced greatly by form. I find the reference to a murder scene very intriguing... Applause!
