Frozen solid
Claws dance on ice
Our first frost
Mottled reflection
Nature’s hammered glass shines
Sparrow’s throat is dry
Teapot’s hot water
Melted ice clear reflection
Gross Beak finds warm drink

yes, and I am well known for ensuring that there is water out for them 🙂 Often fill neighbours birdbaths when they were ill or absent.

I’m feeling a bit dim, but why is the bird’s beak “gross”?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Ha Ha!! That is too funny! That is the name of the bird. Gross Beak. I am guessing Gross means oversized in some language. It has a big fat beak like a Cardinal!
