Finch Food

two plumped up goldfinches
at my chamber door
stuffing full of seeds
and then going in for more

hanging on a metronome
with tiny little peals
for the breeze is gentle
calming their tasty meals

such a joy they bring
when they seek their sustenance
on my gold-capped feeder
they put me in a trance

then they flit away
leaving me in a daze
waiting for their followers
to wing another phrase

house finches follow
brown paisley in the sun
munching at the feeder
until their fill is won

Thank you little finches
for dancing up my day
you fill my heart with ardor
and brighten up my play

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Isn't it fascinating to watch birds feed?
I find it to be so relaxing. Your descriptive phrases are so well crafted, that the images are clearly defined.

A beautiful vision indeed!

Write on! I love birds - they bring such a peacefulness over me when watching them. This poem was near and dear to my heart because I have finches and you've described their behavior quite well.

(smiles) YAY!!! I absolutely love finches, they are sooo cute and adorable and I always smile when they flood the trees and birdfeeders outside, this is adorable! (kiss on cheek) Your wonderful words always bring a smile to my face, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Virginia, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!
