Connie Marcum Wong Date: 3/31/2016 3:51:00 AM Congratulations Sandra. I thought your haiku was clever. #7 ; ) Login to Reply Sandra Haight Date: 4/1/2016 7:47:00 AM Thank you, Connie. I was inspired by the ones that drink from "plastic flowers" in our yard each summer!

Every summer, we watch them drink from plastic flowers in our yard! Sandra

Timothy Hicks Date: 3/31/2016 3:20:00 AM 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. Login to Reply
