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

A joy to read this morning Gwen. It has been so long since I have been here. I can't believe no one else has read this. It is so lighthearted and I can see them finches through your words. You have made my day. Thank you. Love, Carol
