Chetta Achara Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Blue Hummingbird

Mom is waiting for a blue hummingbird
To come by and stop for a visit.
She says it will be my brother returning 
From heaven's nest to put her heart at rest.


My brother passed away a year ago. He was the oldest of six siblings and the first of us to go. Of course, Mom took it hard.

Ink Empress January 20, 2024 at 9:38 PM This is so heart wrenching, and yes we grieve differently and find comfort in various forms, sometimes we believe they come in some other form to comfort us: sigh. I enjoy reading your poems for the evocative touch and the flow of your words that depict real life experiences. Sending you light always Chetta Achara January 21, 2024 at 8:06 AM Thank you.
