Colobri Sonnet

Colibri (sonnet) Beautiful colibri your fluttering wings so rapid it looks like you are still in air… drinking with your long sleek beak forbidden nectar from the honey tree. You fly from tree to tree care not who you hurt with your purr of love. Humming bird so lovely you are, totally amoral, I will catch one day put you in a cage, serve you sweet honey from a jar, the one in the fridge with a picture of a bee on, and you will buzz for me alone till I set you free… if I ever do. For I too need to hear the sound of love and dream of being totally immoral.

That poor heart will beat itself to death. Really I love this, but I couldn't resist being bad. "purr of love" is very sweet and when you add a line like "the one in the fridge with a picture of a bee on", I smile at you reaching into the fridge. love, Kathy
