Sudden cardinal

Nothing like opening your eyes first thing in the morning and seeing an immediate cardinal.

I opened my eyes
And there he was
Cardinal on the red bud
Three feet away.
I’ve seen birds there
Before
But none so startling
So immediate
Opened my eyes
The surprise
Of the cardinal
Suddenly there
Of course
I was sudden to him
As well
But I was not dressed
In red
I also
Did not say
Birdie
Birdie
Birdie
And
Fly away.
