Colorful Flare

They zoom in flight, buzzing through the air
Tiny hummingbirds are darting all around
To the sugar feeder with colorful flare
Swooping, without landing on the ground

Tiny hummingbirds are darting all around
Territorial chirps at one another in flight
Swooping, without landing on the ground
It is a swarm of such a beautiful sight

Territorial chirps at one another in flight
To the sugar feeder with colorful flare
It is a swarm of such a beautiful sight
They zoom in flight, buzzing through the air

Thank you Chris! I love watching them too. Today, they are fighting quite a bit though. Screaming, I'd say. They are so territorial. I usually have 2 feeders. This time I only have 1. I appreciate your comment :)

Yes, they are happy and lucky, just a bit competitive with each other. Thanks for your sweet comment Arturo :)

I love how this came together using the pantoum form. Cute little guys, I can just see them swooping in.

Well written pantoum Heidi, have only written one and found it a struggle, in fact computer nearly went out the window lol. Tom

Hi Tom. LOL I know what that is like. I went through an experience like that with a pantoum once ! This one came easier for some reason, but I followed the instructions as best I could from the site. Hopefully it is right lol. Thanks for your comment :)
