Hummingbird-W

Ruby red throated, black chinned birds are here 

They fly in my porch and look at the door 

Inviting me,"Take your camera, we are to be here 

Until the winter cold blows, at least until winter". 

  

Buzzes busily, attracted by red nectar 

Wings going a hundred miles an hour 

Delicate flowers Fushia a succulent dinner 

Satin feathers of emerald green you’ve ever. 

  

Flitting from place to place landing never 

Never take much space, wings fluttering faster 

Darting to and fro from flower to flower 

It’s a joy to watch their flight with chitter chatter.
