Wow! This is an awesome haiku Kim. I wonder what it would feel like to hold a hummingbird in your hand? A relative of mine feeds them out of her hand. She has a photo to prove it. It took the little hummingbird a long time to trust her enough to come so close. I loved this Kim. Blessings xxoo

Thank you, Connie! My aunt used to have one that would land on her hand briefly. I bet holding one would tickle!

A truly wonderful haiku. Since childhood the hummingbird as been my favorite bird to watch. As not only its magnificent beauty amazes but also its fantastic flying abilities! Your poem sings to this old poet's heart. A fav... God bless...

Thank you so much, Robert! I've always liked hummingbirds, though I don't see much of them anymore.
