Sam Kauffman Poet Monorhyme

Hummers

Hummers

In the laziness of summer
To my garden dart newcomers
Ruby-throated flying hummers
Taste the nectar of midsummer
Ambrosia honey - hues of umber
When crickets chirp, rests in slumbers - upside down!

Hummingbirds often sleep upside down.

Juliet Ligon June 13, 2021 at 4:14 PM Enjoyed your smooth flowing poem and learning a new fun fact that they sleep upsidedown.

Andrea Dietrich June 13, 2021 at 12:13 PM this is sure a cute one. My sister has these birds at her house that visit her yard a lot. I wish I would see more of them.
