Susan Gentry Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

There Are Days When

Jewel-colored butterflies flutter in scarlet sage
Hovering hummingbirds on a red tubular stage

Highways they navigate apparently their own
Invisible to humans as they stay in their zone

These lovely creatures are by nature vivacious 
At times if necessary can also be fallacious

Both either drift or glide in on a breeze
Plunge into a vortex of nectar sweets

Satiation of thirst while lost in the moment
Entrances spectators with similar enjoyment

There are days when fluttering colors
Dissipate daily woes... a gift of the hummers

Butterflies and hummingbirds are beauties to behold
Their appeal is captivating and never grows old
