Firetail Poems | Examples

Diamond Firetail

Tiny finch you land with a beakful
of nesting material spinning 
a pretty crimson tail 
I am motionless, considerate of
any mishap that might interrupt
or cause you to reject my presence

I watch your numerous returns
where with lightning quickness
you successfully organize
into a tiny nest, various grasses,
downy seeds or woolly tufts  
plucked from a grazing sheep-
 
I marvel at your resourcefulness
Your tiny survivability
Your happy twittering
which makes life seem,
suddenly less daunting
