Hummingbird - Quatern

Hummingbird sips the nectar sweet honeysuckle rose in the heat Orange blossoms fragrance the air Multitudinous, no compare As green vines curl around love seat Hummingbird sips the nectar sweet Overhead dazzle of bright sunshine Dappling the shadowed cypress pine As starlings, from flight, rest awhile Settling over each clay roof tile Hummingbird sips the nectar sweet Making summer day so complete A sudden breeze takes up it's form Startled the birds fly up and swarm Oblivious to frantic tweet Hummingbird sips the nectar sweet 29/4/14

Hummingbirds are quite beautiful, and so is your poem. Very nicely done, Theresa. I enjoyed it very much and I loved the rhyming!

teresa, this was a cute portrayal of the hummingbird. I placed it a bit lower for some grammar issues such as using "it's" instead of its and for line 7 having over 8 syllables. The imagery is very nice. Thanks for trying my contest and congrats to you.

Hi Andrea, Thank you for keeping me on my toes in relation to grammatical errors! As I should have rechecked line 7 again when I decided to change 'ray' to 'dazzle' instead. Thank you for your continual support in my poetical endeavours. Regards Theresa xx
