Sandra Adams Poet Ninette

If They Could Give Thanks They Would -Triple Ninette, Contest

faint 
chatter
in slight wind
rainbow colors
flash within sunset
graceful soft wings
hovering 
between
sips

one
tiny
nectar drop
floating downward
caught in eye of sun
rainbow flashes
now grounded
colored
blank

ant
drawn near
sipping slow
from cement cup
as others claim stake
of sugared drink
he blends in
darkness
falls
