a sparkling glazed sheen
sunshine on my windowpane
noonday blooms below

goldfinch bush and tree
are awash in dazzling light
as pale sunbeams dance

  flower power head turner~
      feasting goldfinches


I passed a dancing sunflower on my walk today,
out sprang a goldfinch.

a goldfinch feather —
the black and yellow foundling
carried by the wind
plucked from a waning winglet
        lad grips flight in his fingers

Optimistic American goldfinch
Perched on the end of the branch
Enjoying a bit of loving rain
Glad the skies finally gave him the bath he needed
Things are looking up

Three Haiku

a Goldfinch hoping
along an old weathered fence
pear tree blossoms

early afternoon
green woodpecker in field
hidden by wet grass

a small garden pond
hundreds of tiny tadpoles
wriggling at the edge

Premium Member Eye to eye

A goldfinch
stared at me
in all his
yellow,
fleeting
perfection

The stronger
evergreen
anchors your feet,
my darling,
as you look down


above little me


Sing and stand
beautifully.

Premium Member On a Day Such as This

Pink carnation clouds
blue tuxedo horizon
goldfinch and windchime.
Tree dancer and silver leaf
porch swinging memories
angel hair and honeybee.
On a day such as this, passing away would be a breeze.

Premium Member Flash of brightness


A flash of light like a bulb, came into sight
Shining outside my window, with a flash
The evolving view was bright and beautiful
I stood still and watched with happiness
The Goldfinch took flight, flapping to my heartbeat

a lone goldfinch sings
chirping away before dawn~
sunny melody

outside my window
a robin sings to the finch~

Premium Member One Fine Day

a garden party
a flower celebration
goldfinch gathering

the shadows are gone
warm sun is touching the ground
butterflies drifting

all birds are singing
blooms and trees dance to the sound
cobalt skies grass green

the bees are humming
and feasting on red berries
color movement joy

Flemenco

Bull-black boots
stamping
like beating skin-tight drums
steel capped

with arched hands
clanking castanets
with crimson coronations 
like a goldfinch neck

A guitar's fevered fret
crescendos
                 a rite of spring
 kicking dust from bloodied boots

stomps off the romany's yoke

Premium Member American Goldfinch

Visitor chirps in the garden at daybreak.
Beautiful bird hanging upside down to feed;
pecking at thistle seeds on a bird feeder....
                                               the charming goldfinch

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.

Mud season 
yucky mucky

Hummingbird in flight
zig jig

A flock of robins
swinging singing

New grass
sprout shout

Flying butterfly
flutter putter

Chipmunks at feeders
seed greed

Lilac trees
blooms perfumes

A bright goldfinch
yellow fellow

Tree branches
twig sprig

Rose Meadow

Golden brooch on a red silk robe
The goldfinch sits in a rose meadow
In the shamrock, azure, carmine land
She comes to mourn a loved one’s death

Amid beauty of the peerless form
A dreadful dead march is sung. 

Meanwhile, the rose bud grows into bloom
The twilight sky is an ever-changing hue.

Premium Member Santa Was a Bird Watcher

Santa was a bird watcher
Until they turned his own ideas on him
Now they are flying in to investigate
To ask him questions.

Robins, wrens, sparrows,
Cardinals, blue jay, goldfinch.
Questions upon questions.
What is Mrs. Claus’ favorite dessert?

What is her favorite perfume?
Who is her favorite musician?
What bands does she listen to?
Santa wished he knew the answers.

Premium Member Vibrant Rumors

July evening sun was setting, red and yellow,
Upon the beautiful skies, like the sun's echo!
Goldfinch was singing, in a sweet rapid tempo,
As red carnations bloomed, like a day in retro.

The skies were wine, when moon began to shine,
And purple finch sang, a song to his valentine,
In the evening's calm, in fragrant lilac times,
A world turned surreal, with rumors of divine.
