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. 6-13-21 Contest: Bite size poem No. 7 Sponsor: Line Gauthier

Enjoyed your smooth flowing poem and learning a new fun fact that they sleep upsidedown.

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.
