A Yellow Finch and the Cornflower

 

 

 

A Yellow Finch will pinch,
A cornflower seed,
Nothing short of life threats,
Can force me,
Make me fly,
A tap on the window,
Will make look,
Who are you?
The blackened seed beneath my claws,
Is sustenance,
Thistle flower will soon turn seed,
But, for now,
It is cornflower!
