Dry brittle corn stalks
Shooting up out of the snow
Enticing the birds.
A red cardinal
Searching for much needed food
Lights atop a stalk.
A hungry brown thrush
Feverishly pecks away
At a frozen cob.
An alert sparrow
Spies a kernel on the ground
Lunch for one is served.

Blazing orange sphere
Dipping below the skyline –
Day’s grand finale.
