Red Red Robin<\/b><\/p>\n
You are the master of your territories<\/p>\n
And greet me warmly when I visit your home<\/p>\n
We wear our bloodied aprons with pride<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jenny Wren<\/b><\/p>\n
Tiny Jemmy Wren<\/p>\n
You shelter meekly<\/p>\n
Against the winter winds<\/p>\n
I offer you my home<\/p>\n
But you prefer the frozen fields<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Kite<\/b><\/p>\n
You glide above the winter fields<\/p>\n
Oblivious to the bright chilled air<\/p>\n
It is said that many creatures<\/p>\n
Enjoy your majestic theatre<\/p>\n
From their places of silent retreat<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pigeons<\/b><\/p>\n
You are called vermin by some<\/p>\n
Rats with wings<\/p>\n
An unkindness I think<\/p>\n
For your hospitality<\/p>\n
Shades us all<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Crow<\/b><\/p>\n
Master Bird<\/p>\n
Your kingdoms stretch far<\/p>\n
But your reign is unstable<\/p>\n
As you are familiar<\/p>\n
With your many subjects<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Buzzard<\/b><\/p>\n
Great Buzzard<\/p>\n
Beneath this stone<\/p>\n
Resurrect yourself<\/p>\n
We have an understanding<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Magpie<\/b><\/p>\n
The contours of the waves<\/p>\n
Are broken by shafts of brilliant sunlight<\/p>\n
A solitary magpie awaits the night<\/p>\n
It will not sleep as it is counting the stars<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Cold Service of all the Nights<\/b><\/p>\n
I did not witness your birth<\/p>\n
Nor will I see your demise<\/p>\n
I accept this<\/p>\n
You have watched me for so many years<\/p>\n
Without emotion<\/p>\n
But our friendship endures this comedy<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cold Moon\/White Queen<\/b><\/p>\n
Let me caress your breast White Queen<\/p>\n
Let me touch your broken heart<\/p>\n
So that we may grieve together<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cold Moon<\/b><\/p>\n
You have many masks<\/p>\n
Each thinner than the last<\/p>\n
I have removed the summer varnish from your portraits<\/p>\n
And left them alone in the frost fields<\/p>\n
Where they will be far away from your obstructions<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Cat with the Green Head<\/b><\/p>\n
The cat with the green head<\/p>\n
Does not celebrate Christmas<\/p>\n
For it is illiterate<\/p>\n
And stares at ducks<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
threehundredandfortysixdays<\/b><\/p>\n
irestedforthreehundredandforty
andonthethreehundredandfortyse
<\/p>\n
My Smiling Confederates<\/b><\/p>\n
Let us celebrate this season with joy<\/p>\n
And ignore the hardships of the needy<\/p>\n
For the mire of their despondency<\/p>\n
Does not even stain our boots<\/p>\n
