Ruby Throated Hummer

Tiny little Ruby Throated Hummingbird
Outside my window sill
At the feeder drinking your fill
Being guarded by daddy on the hill

He's hoovering over
Guarding your evey move
Trying to protect you
From every cat that's got groove

How cute this is, Sara. I love those Ruby throated Hummingbirds. In fact, I made a beautiful LARGE painting of on several years back. And I did a high-relief sculpture of one. I still have that. It turned out quite well. So, your poem this morning, has special meaning to me. Very nicely written. Thanks for commenting on my poem + (Soupmail, soon.)

I just got through replenishing my feeders, Sara, I love watching them, I have three different types, here in Arkansas. About time for them to start migrating, I think. Sincerely Moses
