Little Gems - Tet

Swift
 Little
 Beauties dart
 About seeking
 Nectar from nature's colorful flowers

 Catch 
 A glimpse
 Of them when
 They perch, then off
 They go, hovering in iridescent glow

You have captured these moments so beautifully. As tiny wings of a hummingbird drift in the wind. So elegant and graceful. Spring is in the Air. :) Brandy

These beautiful little hummingbirds are almost otherworldly in their amazing flight. I have a second cousin who is very talented at carving wood and he gave me an exquisite hummingbird that looks so real. I think that little bird is my favorite of all birds. My mother-in-law fed one that got so tame it would eat out of her hand. My father-in-law took a picture of it. It is very unusual to see one that tame. I love your beautiful poem Joseph! : ) xxoo
