Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Hello my friend
Good try for your first time.
Syllable count should be 5/7/5, your count is off...6/7/5
It is a simple cinch, 6
My favorite bird's the finch, 7
My heart it did clinch 5
Example:
It's a simple cinch, 5

What a cutie it is, Mystery Author. I do like your rhymes as an added bonus to the 575.
Best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan
Suggestion:
It is a simple cinch, [6 syllables---> maybe write it is as . . .It's]
My favorite bird's the finch,
My heart it did clinch

I like finches, too, and look forward to seeing them every summer. Your poem expresses your high regard, but the use of rhyme is too much for my taste.

Comment from Bill Schott
This 5-7-5, Ode to the Finch, which actually has an extra syllable starting out, lets the reader know you are keen on that finch.
IT IS A SIM PLE CINCH
(It's a simple cinch)
