On Gold-Tipped Wings

How cheerfully the goldfinch sings At rest from undulating flight, A bar of gold on charcoal wings And crown of scarlet, black and white. I love to hear his cheerful trill As tasty teasel seeds he spies. With long fine beak he takes his fill Then off on gold-tipped wings he flies. 19.02.19 'Songbirds Contest' :Sponsored by: Tania Kitchin
