Hibiscus

Hues of pink, yellow, red
  How sweet its nectar flows 
  Hovering above it
  Hummingbirds sweetly sip
  Honey bees can't resist
  Here comes a butterfly
  Hurrying for a taste!

Rhonda Johnson-Saunders Date: 2/24/2017 10:40:00 PM Beautiful, Joseph! Hibiscus is one of the more common flowers where I live. I remember bees always buzzing around them when I was a little girl, but I hardly hear them anymore...not a good sign. Sorry if I digressed, but your poem reminded me. Congrats on your win! Hugs.
