Honeysuckle Vine

H unger drives small wings to follow-
O n search of nectar to swallow.
N atures own sweet drink to borrow-
E ven if morning dew falls tomorrow.
Y ummy blossoms drench zealous air-
S ifting through briers with flair.
U nderneath the weeping willow-
C olored spouts in sun kissed yellow-
K eeping everything quite mellow.
L eaving frail stems to intertwine- 
E agerly small wings stop to dine.

V intage sweet blossom abundance-
I nvites even insects to chance.
N o spring is forever complete- 
E ating all so tenderly sweet.
