my darling little finch
in cold and snowy morn
you peck and devour seed
to fill your hunger

snowflakes float down
upon your tiny back
yet feeding time rules
despite the chilly air

I care for your tiny form
you bring joy to my day
a delicate beak
nourishes a hardy soul

waiting for your arrival
I fill my feeder with seed
you peer at me in curiosity
human watching your head tilts
a smile upon my face
