along an old weathered fence

Goldfinch pair visit
birdbath seeking cool water....
water way too deep

male Goldfinch inches
down Willow Tree limb to bath...
fear enters halts plan

a lone goldfinch sings
chirping away before dawn~
sunny melody

outside my window
a robin sings to the finch~
morning serenade

a blue jay squawks loud
waking up the neighborhood~
cat clowder begins
