Feisty Hummingbirds

My favorite hummingbirds appear in early Spring With fast fluttery wings and soft chirps, they sing And rich emerald and ruby feathers so bright Seeing them makes my heart skip with delight Powerful tiny creatures seen in a flash Flying in patterns of zigzags and a dash Zipping and zooming around feeders like fools Feeding as their feathers sparkle like jewels Two frolicking males seen fighting in flight Mating rituals on display for females in sight Another feisty one has joined their playful dance As a lone female picks her mate today by chance Here for a few moments then quickly gone The nectar will bring more, it won’t be long A quick blink and out of the corner of my eye I just saw a flash of vibrant green go flying by 12/15/19 Contest: Strand Select, any form, any theme Sponsor: Brian Strand
