Buffet of Flowers
young hummingbird bush
has yet to bloom – still they fly…
taste of spring in the air
sweet nectar is sipped
from the daffodil trumpets…
wings fluttering fast
irises in sight
colorful birds visit them…
bellies still not full
azaleas call out
the hummingbirds last retreat…
satisfied, they nest
