Notes About The Poem

Hummingbirds

Waiting to see my ruby delights
Magical hummers buzzing in flight
Tiny feathers glisten in sunlight
Sparkle like gems of emeralds and rubies
Beautiful creatures fast and sprite

Zooming and buzzing sounds 
Searching for nectar, whispers of songs
I have no doubt, it won’t be long
Before they feel the pull
Of flowers in bloom and feeders full

One has landed, but only for a moment
Staring out my window, what a sight
I am seduced, vibrant hues so potent
Until next time, I will be
Waiting to see my ruby delights
Magical hummers buzzing in flight

I so enjoyed reading your poems that I decided to visit your beginning (I happen to have been blessed with LOTS of free time today.) You are so cute, I smile at your response to comments, 'thank you, ****', thank you ****, so unique. I have never been able to adequately sum up how watching hummingbirds affects me and why, so I loved you clarifying it for me in this well-written gifting-explanation ... CayCay
