Little Goldfinch

there’s a little goldfinch
short and stout
nibbling at the feeder
head in and out

pecking at the morsels
that are gifted for sure
feathers gold and black
is his fine allure

joined he by a friend
or maybe a foe
destined to repast
on the perch not low

swinging in the breeze
a fine gentle sway
nibbling at the morning
commencing the day

puffing out their feathers
insulating the cool
eating like they’re famished
wonder if they drool

wish that you could see them
all lovely and fine
swinging to and fro
on this porch of mine

Cat on the sofa
sitting with a grin
wond’rin’ what they’d feel like
fluttering within.

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

I have three finches. Amos, Annie, and Ana. This is a lovely poem about these tiny little birds.

oh my, that added a lot to the poem. A little wicked ending. I like it.

Though I'd never let this mean ole cat here dine on my little finches.
