What a lovely picture you
What a lovely picture you draw in such noticing different details! Do you have such snow at present? I know much of the country does, but we havent, just a sharp cold, fresh wind. I'm not sure I have ever seen siskin. Hope you are warm inside! Rhiannon

You're right Tina, siskin are
You're right Tina, siskin are finches. I tried to put a picture of one here but was unable to do it and the link looked really odd too. Hey ho.

And the patterns...
... of the Luton arranged sky match the treads of the cars tyres in the snow below :-)
Such wonders in every 'normal' day... thanks for making them picturesque Tina.
Thanks for asking - been a challenging start to our school year, but I'm trusting God knows what He's doing! Heh heh, as I do every day ;-) Keep smiling $

Hi Tina, I loved the elusive
Hi Tina, I loved the elusive and ethereal feel to the poem - felt the freshness all cut through with the solid reality of power lines and warm clothes - the ending bringing us back to reality. It all came together as such a vivid picture - cleverer the more you read it.
I used to have siskins where I used to live, but that was in an area of pine forest. Now I hardly ever see the little things as I live where there are mostly deciduous trees. I loved the mention of them in your poem - brought back more memories than just the birds.

A perfect seasonal poem Tina.
A perfect seasonal poem Tina. I have to say that I love this time of the year and to see Siskins, you are so lucky. Very much enjoyed reading.
Jenny.

Love your poem, as usual.
Love your poem, as usual. The only lines I would change would be ones describing the heavy snow on the hedges. I think that "itch to peel off their heavy coats" might sound better. Any who, I like the descriptive winterscape you have painted. I particularly like the closing lines of the poem. You provide a satisfying closure to the poem.
