Ruby Throated Hummingbird

ruby jewelled throat

            shimmers over purple bells

                 olive winged wonder

This poem is a winner in my book, the word olive instantly brought the hummingbird forefront in my mind, as the ones I see always seem to have that olive throat. Nicely written, Virginia.
