The Hummingbird

Single pointed, her attention
Hummingbird hovers in the air
To partake of soma nectar

Her uniqueness deserves mention
Both flight and poise, unmatched in flair
An adroit pollen collector

Living without apprehension 
Though for her young, she needs to care
Being their only protector

She’s from another dimension
Never seems worn weary for wear
No one can plot, her flight vector

Beholding her, we look on awed
Wondrous is the magic of God

Hummingbird is the only bird which can fly forward, backward, sideways, and can take dive and still fly. A wonderful aerodynamic creature, Nice and pretty to adore. Nice work.
