    The Lyric Poem Prize

    Warren Slesinger

     

    Wren

    Is it the tail
    that flicks?

    Below
    the feeder
    the snow is packed
    with footprints
    and seeds.

    With a wingtip
    and beak, it steadies:

    the wren,
    no more than an ounce
    of bone and feather
    when it flits on the edge
    of warmer weather.
