Hummingbird

I went out this morning to check my hummingbird feeder, on deck. The nectar was low- quick filled it, although, my eye caught a fast-moving fleck! And there we were- quite face to face- it staring at me- hung in space; this beautiful bird appearing quite blurred- wings beating at such a fast pace. It stayed there and starred in my eyes- now wide with my look of surprise! Not fearful at all, this bird, sweet and small, did trust me in spite of my size! My hummingbird sees me each day while checking the food at the tray, and knows that my heart much love does impart- and likewise, its faith would convey! July 10, 2020

Lovely poem and so well expressed, Sandra. This sounds like a true story (based on my own experience with hummers). ~Eric

Hello Sandra … how lucky you are to come face to face with your trusting hummingbird. I have seen one live but are fascinated by their size and speed - thank you Sandra - Lindsay

Oh, Sandra, how very lovely they are. I hope this is a true story for I have always been enamored by them. I can only imagine how awed you must've been at being face to face and knowing it wasn't frightened of you. I think your limericks will do extremely well in the competition.
