Best Hummer Poems

peach sun has come back
long hours of rain and thunder
hummingbird plunder

hued blooms gather with
the stunning jeweled wonder
stained rite of summer

noon pause for orange
and backwards flight aflutter
butterfly colors

rapid wing whispers
velvet time is life's usher
gold midday mutters...

Hummer
perches 'pon pear
Scratches looks all around
Cat spies tiny feathered treat
Too small  ...

Poor Ruby Hummer looks confused,
searching for her favorite feeder.
It was right there when it last was used,
in September, in the cedar.

Above the Bee-balm and Lobelia,
in my pollinator garden,
so sorry, Ruby, yes I feel ya,
and I truly beg your pardon.

I’m late this May, you came so...

Beating in the spring
Kaleidoscope of colors
Hummingbirds, live jewels...

Jazzing around,
the black humming bee
swings along with the strings

Fiddles, guitars
in the piano bars
keeping a-slamming the floor

The music is growing
from under the feet
of the Dancer:

THE BEAT!...

A sweet hummingbird gives me great pleasure,
I love their iridescent hovering;
they are a gift from God and a treasure,
how, lovely is their feather covering.

Oh, listen and you can hear their wings beat,
those long bills and longer tongues drinking nectar;
they hover backwards and up-side down- ...

This mind…
It may be deranged, I admit.
But then I try to remember what normal is…?
Nah,
I’m not crazy…
I’m just an introvert, a disbeliever, and an artist.
What do you tell yourself?

I’m rambling here, sorry, let me get to what I’m saying (what am I...

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...

Hibiscus for a sweet hummer',
with feathers so iridescent;
oh, dip your long beak in nectar !

Flutter my little incomer,
I love your green blue pearlescent;
oh, lovely flower inspector !

Blooming just for you all summer,
tail a purple incandescent;
sweet bloom for a sweet collector !

Delightful little mime mummer,
look...

Big Bummer Selling Hummer

Easy living likes the summer; 
All the rest is a big bummer; 
Cause was lost, 
With no cost; 
Even had to sell our hummer.

O, I Remember
    You Broke my Heart
'In the Garden'
        My Tranquil Garden
At My Garden End

'O, Sweet Hummer'
        Falling, Falling, Falling
 " and angels wept"

Well, darn--I wish bushes grew faster.
That might help me avoid a disaster.
What is a buzz-maestro supposed to do
when a Hummer takes nectar from you?

I've buzzed by all my usual haunts.
They're out of stock--what about MY wants?
When nectar comes in, price is sky-high.
(I think it's price...
