Delightful Dynamos

Delightful diners flutter near, creating quite an atmosphere. Their tiny beating wings I hear. They lunch a bit, then swiftly veer to left or right. They bring such cheer. Wee hummingbirds--they have no peer. I had in mind to lure these guests by planting flowers they love best. I have succeeded in my quest. Now by their presence I am blessed, but soon, to leave some will be pressed, for they have hatchlings in their nests. posted September 13, 2016 entered in Brian Strand's End July Premiere Contest on July 26, 2017 April 1, 2018, entered in Deborah Guenther Beachboard's It's a Shorty Contest Received Honorable Mention February 13, 2019, entered in Mark Toney's Poetry Marathon Mile 18 April 7, 2020 entered in Line Gauthier's 6 Lines of Cheerful Rhyme contest placed 2nd February 1, 2023 entered in the A Simple Pleasure Poetry Contest Sponsor: Julia Ward

Lovely Janice! You really captured the spirit of hummingbirds. They do make me happy. We have two feeders that are drained several times a week! Congratulations on your winning placement!
