Thank you, Paul. Yes, Tim said there were three hummingbird entries. He liked the 'plastic flowers' a-ha moment. Sandra

Thank you very much, Teddy. It was fun to write it based on watching the ones in your yard in the summer. Sandra

Thank you, Connie. I was inspired by the ones that drink from "plastic flowers" in our yard each summer! Hugs, Sandra

Thank you for an interesting contest, Tim, and for picking my hummingbird entry with the twist for your winner's list! Every summer, we watch them drink from plastic flowers in our yard! Sandra

Congrats Sandra! This was a tough call, because believe it or not, there were THREE haiku submissions that were about hummingbirds. In the end though, I chose yours because it had the best "a-ha" moment, with the plastic flowers line.
