Dear Bill, you have perfectly captured the personalities of those cute birds! Do you see them often? Really appreciate your visit to my page, and Wow! reading and commenting on four long poems! Thank you so much ~ Mala

Your (long) poems are like reading a good book are article, they're all page turners. I can't stop. You have such a lovely voice through your poetry. I am inspired to improve my poetic skills so I can write better poetry. I have a lot on my heart to say but the skills are still a bit raw. I see them often; we have four feeders around our home and a couple little hummingbirds come every year, so we named them Flitter and Flatter. :-) Smiles ~ Blessings my friend, Bill

That was a lesson for me, I didn't know they could fly backwards. Smiles ~ Blessings, Bill

Love this Bill. My Grandmother loved hummingbirds and fed them in her garden. There were lots of them too. Wish we could have them in my garden but the Alberta wind would dash them to death against something. Good job. God Bless, JB

Hi! Bill, I love the Humers. I put feeders out for them all summer long. If the feeders go dry, they will find you and fly all around to get your attention. Then fly back to the feeder that is dry. Nicely written Haiku. Blessings ~ Debra

Hello Bill, those humming birds are so tiny they fly quickly backwards as well a forw\ard. I am surprised at their size tht they fly south for the winter. Your poetess friend, Darlene.
