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 _________________ July 3, 2021 Poetry/Acrostic/hummingbird Copyright Protected, ID 07-1358-552-03 ll Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, A Brian Strand July 3 sponsor, Brian Strand First Place

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.

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
