Finches Dance

*Finches Dance* Three finches gather at the old bird feeder Nestled near the small patch of corn Enthusiastically taking turns twirling around Like at a ho down at the old Seller’s barn Doing acrobatic dance maneuvers As thistle seed falls merrily to the ground Three happy finches dancing away the day As shadows begin to emerge on the old wooden fence Three weary finches danced their hearts out A few feathers less than when they first begun Gwendolen Rix 6-9-14
