Flying Jewels

Hummingbirds flitter, flutter, dip and dive,
       seeking ambrosial nectar
                from ample garden blooms.

Delightful, these tiny flying jewels
        with iridescent feathers--
                they fly but cannot walk.

Little hummers darting from bloom to bloom,
        their wings in ceaseless motion--
                Welcome to my garden.

Suzanne Delaney April 4, 2017 at 3:06 PM What a delightful poem. I am longing to get a feeder for this summer. I did see a hummer near my front door when I first moved in here last June. Hugs, SuZ Kim Merryman April 10, 2017 at 9:35 PM Thank you, Suzanne!
