in a deep lush forest somewhere in the world far from civilization and danger a tiny green hued hummingbird finds a red flower and with silent fluttering wings and probing tongue he drinks and drinks the sweet nectar then, he hovers- and in a flash is gone ... __________________________ April 24, 2023 Poetry/Verse/hummingbird Copyright Protected, ID 04-1542-524-24 All Rights Reserved, 2023, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Bite Size Contest, No 62 sponsor, Line Gauthier, Judged 05/02/2023 Second Place

Ahh!! Except they are not silent when hovering over a flower. Those little wings have their own distinct sound. A sort of buzzing they make. I just love the ones that show up around here. Reads like a good contender for the contest to me. Way to go. Thanks for sharing it with us and for my poem being on your winner's list. Sara
