flying over Gulf of Mexico tranquil emerald expanse, not going to stop until I reach Canada - country blessed with bounty of Nature! thrilled to meet my friends - Robin, and Oriole, Geese and Ducks, also white-throated Sparrow, chanting - My Sweet Canada, Canada, Canada ! my destination, a gorgeous recluse, where Tulips and Hydrangea bloom in all their splendour - butterflies kiss ravishing roses - I meet my best friend, my visionary Poet! she waits for me all snowy winter long - she waits for the rendezvous of Spring birds - Kildeer, Mallard Duck, Red-winged Blackbird, and for me - Ruby-throated Hummingbird! her golden pen longing for Spring… to portray a serene picture when her adored muse will soar across the aquamarine water.. nature’s symphony fills the mystic air! I can't disappoint my beloved damsel, she is my bard, with a quill created of enchanting dreams, singing melodies at vermillion dawn, serenading divine hymns. she and I converse to each other, about the crimson days.. those are gone…she holds me gently on her delicate palm, pensively sways on a dainty swing… reminiscences are our bond ! Notes: The ruby-throated hummingbird is a species of hummingbird that generally spends the winter in Central America, Mexico, and Florida, and migrates to Canada and other parts of Eastern North America for the summer to breed. It is by far the most common hummingbird seen east of the Mississippi River in North America. During migration, some birds embark on a nonstop 900-mile journey across the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean from Panama or Mexico to the eastern United States.

Okay, how did I miss the honor of your POTD dear friend? Congratulations! Your lovely poem drips with every color of the rainbow and every note of the scale in a serenade of bird songs! We have both hummingbird and bird feeders in our backyard. There I get to converse with the birds who "flock" to feed - an experience that is so special. I have even had a hummingbird come face to face with me! Sending you blessings on wings of song dear friend.

Dear Sam, Doesn't matter you miss for a day or two...I always hear from you congratulating on my humble poems. I envy you - birds, especially hummingbirds flocking to your feeders, must be an exquisite experience! Summer in Canada is short, but it is gorgeous - I don't want to miss a day in the garden listening to the chirping of the birds - is there any music better than that?! Love and blessings, Dear Friend ~ Mala

Dear Mala, A very belated congratulations on your POTD ! I am finally getting a chance to read this gem. I love this so much ! I have a special love in my heart for this spirit animal of mine you have so beautifully described! I love - singing melodies at vermillion dawn, serenading divine hymns. Hugs to you, Susan :)

Dear Susan, I am very very sorry - I read the beautiful comments immediately after I receive them...but then I start pondering...and become late in replying the very precious messages. Birds bring me a lot of happiness - every morning I love waking up with the singing of birds. Love and blessings, Dear Friend ~ Mala

Congratulations on having this gorgeous poem honored with POTD Mala. I converse with the birds as well that have their nest in our neighbors avocado tree. When I make my whistle calls they answer back and it makes me smile. Blessings xxoo

Mala, I just love your homage to the hummingbird and to poets such as yourself who love to write of nature! Though I have never set foot in your beautiful country, now I want to all the more. I love the personification and adore the lines "nature’s symphony fills the mystic air" and "my bard, with a quill created of enchanting dreams" among many such notable phrases. You have crafted a real beauty here, and I celebrate your POTD acknowledgment with you! Warmly ~ John

Dear John, I am at a loss to reply your beautiful, kind, thoughtful, inspiring comment. I am not born in Canada, but I really fell in love with the amazing natural sights and sounds of this country, when I arrived - even the winter is spectacular! For a poet, this is heaven! You are so welcome to visit Canada when you can - I am sure you will love the sights, mountains, lakes, gardens, birds, and people! I am so fortunate to celebrate my humble attempt of paying homage to a tiny hummingbird - with you! Warm wishes!

Congratulations on your POTD honor, Mala. A beautiful bond you have with the hummingbird. This Personification was a kind way to allow the hummingbird to express the feelings and bond you've built over the years. Fine entry for the contest, good luck my friend. Your knowledge and understanding of the ways of the hummingbird are well displayed through your eloquent descriptions and imagery. Thanks for sharing your poetry with us. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

Dear Bill, many thanks for your thoughtful and kind comment. I love watching birds..and over the years probably created a relationship with them. To me, hummingbird is the most interesting bird. Really appreciate your reading quite a few of my poems, and commenting on all of them.
