Hummingbird Alouette

wings beating, beating a frenzied greeting hovering around my head here and there you flit with no time to sit so much work to keep you fed oh you little sprite wonder at your flight you're so like a magic spell flash of ruby wing pleasure that you bring here and gone, a sweet farewell

oh, I just loved the sprite line and the flash of ruby wings. This is so nice. I saw one by chance the other day and it's the kind of bird you feel honored to catch sight of. congrats in my contest. I hope you see my blog. All my top three placed poems could have been number one with flawless meter because all were a delight.

Humming birds are my favorite bird to watch. I have watched them filmed in slow motion and they are just a marvel. You captured their delightful actions. Congratulations Barbara, on your win.

Barbara, this summer we had a hummingbird that would actually sit in our cherry tree; we would watch it from our family room. We were sure there was a nest there...somewhere, but we couldn't find it. The nests are about dime size. Would love to have one. Lovely poem. Good luck.
