Constance La France Poet Acrostic

Hummingbird

hovering in my garden a hummingbird spins, with
unique plumage brilliant and dazzling, he
makes me stop and watch his floating waltz ...
murmuring to himself he spins and twirls, and deep
inside flowers he sips and drinks nectar and nectar
now, he takes a bath in my garden bird bath, his feathers
glittering in the sun, oh, he is blessed with a long
bill quite sword like -  so he can pollinate  ... his
iridescent glitter is impressive, and now
rotating this tiny nectar gatherer backs up
dancing for me, then he whirls away dripping sweetness

L Milton Hankins July 3, 2021 at 9:27 AM Ah, this is such a lovely, delicate piece of writing...much like it should be in honor of the tiny hummingbird. For their size, they are so brave, courageous, and occasionally arrogant. I love the hummingbirds and it is obvious you do, too. Beautiful writing, as usual. Constance La France July 3, 2021 at 12:16 PM Milton, thank you for the lovely comment and compliment on my poem, you are right I adore Hummingbirds, I was at a bird sanctuary once and a hummingbird landed on my outstretched hand looking at me for a moment and it was magical, I have never forgotten how that felt ~ peace and tranquility _Constance
