What a great way to start a new day --
A great way for the day to begin.
While checking email and searching for shoes
I heard a tap-tapping and then --
I looked through the glass of the chairside door
Expecting a kitten wants in.
But to my surprise, and delighting my eyes,
Was a gold finch tiny and thin.
She was tapping and tapping, a tappy-tap-tap.
It made me so happy, so happy-hap-hap!
Hello little birdie. What's up with your day?
She squeaked one time then flew up and away.
So I repeat my first line
(Well what else can I say?)
This has been a great way
To start a new day.

Such good company, the bright yellow finch,
to join you in creating a joyous poem.
A great first entry on your page.
Just like Yem, I was curious,
had to check back!!

Well thanks to both of you for checking in. The little bird was indeed a pleasant surprise. Never had one peck at the door before!
I think birds are magical~

Little things sometimes make all the difference. It's surprising the effect they can have. This poem celebrates those things, that gold finch, it's a symbol of that simple joy...gold being a great color...suggesting, again, the importance.
"So I repeat my first line"
I like that, just a simple line but it not only reiterates the line, but also the underlying meaning...its importance.
Glad you posted something...glad I was nosy and checked.

Hi Yem, and thanks for your thoughts. "Simple Joy" is my quest. The little bird's was such a surprise, and I did indeed manage to construct meaning from it. I think birds are magical.
