Sample Poem

Meeting for a Drink     (Florette)

While sitting near my fountain dear,

a pretty yellow finch appeared.

When he came by to say hello

it thrilled me much to simply know I wasn't feared.

He looked at me and seemed quite wise,

as seeing me was no surprise;

he groomed his feathers, and seemed to think,

then bowed to me and took a drink, just us two guys.
