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.
