Hummingbird Inclinations

Hummingbird Inclinations Hummingbirds make blues and reds more vivid Thin tongues dipped in sweet delicious depths Hovering above their favorite thing Who knew flowers could be so tasty With beaks sunk deep into the sacred sanctuary Nectar makes the perfect breakfast at great speeds Hummingbirds take risks and chances being out in day They are so cute and tiny on the wing Bird snatchers are dangerous nasty people With nets they could catch them and make them sing Keep them from Mother Nature in the spring Hold them for ransom or other felonious things That snatchers are known to do Hummingbirds fly backwards in time With gentle precision and inclinations To find flowers they left behind They stir up images of oranges and yellows as they fly And paint a pretty picture in our minds
