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

Andrea Dietrich Date: 5/11/2014 5:05:00 PM 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.

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
