indigo blue

January Dawn  What colour the snow on the roof of the barn? Pink ice in the puddles Pink cherry the dawn What colour the first light of frost on the field? Soft blush on cold mud on cold mud so cold What dark shape the blackbird fast swooping and low? What far cry the corn crake? What sound the cock crow?
