Wendy Watson Poet Rhyme

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.
