Getting Colder

Robin, you are smart
in your red vest.
Beautiful bird,
sweet bird.
It's getting cold.
Will you stay this winter?
Or are the falling leaves
your ticket
for air travel?

Triolet with Violets

I saw a robin sitting in a tree
he was busy dreaming of Spring
and all the violets that he would see
I saw a robin sitting in a tree
he looked at me and did not flee
he sang the song he was meant to sing
I saw a robin sitting in a tree
he was busy dreaming of Spring
