Red Wings Poem by Cat Hodgson

Black bird did you snip that red cloak
Brighter than a queen’s silken robe
It gives you away as you bow your head to eat
Let me watch as you run this feat
Such royalty against your raven sheen
As you flaunt across the meadow green

Take me for a ride just beneath a cloud
In the thickest forest splendor to beheld
Awe yes now I can comprehend,
you have earned that red cloak,
with your adventurous mysteries
and all the songs you wrote
