poem written based upon this image--an online poetry class assignment
The hummingbird rests lightly on a tree branch, its small body stilled beneath a pink hibiscus crown. Soft green wings glow in the pink dusk, blue feathers gathered like a skirt around its form. Only when the light tilts do you see her~ arms folded gently over that blue-feathered dress, a tiny fairy caught in a moment of dreaming, as if sleep itself had lifted her from the air and set her down in the stillness between worlds.
