Notes About The Poem

Contest: Charlieku 4 x 3 x 4. Sponsored by Charles Messina. Checked with PS. Written 4/24/26.

the hummingbirds - CM

soon to appear
the hummingbirds ...
so sweet and dear

their wings in green
red ruby throats ...
flutter with Sheen

feisty and fun
they zip and zag ...
never undone

they will be gone
if you get close ...
but not for long

I love your sweet poem, and we love hummingbirds. We love to watch them at the feeders that we put out for them. They are beautiful.

Pity such lovely birds do not thrive in Malta. They are so beautiful, like your poem.

Dear Tania, this one just made me smile. You’ve got such a light, joyful touch with these little creatures. It feels like watching them dart around the garden in real time. Oh, yes, they vanish the second you blink, then show up again like nothing happened. Such a sweet, lively write, my friend. Blessings, Daniel
