     silent fluttering

Waiting to see my ruby delights
Magical hummers buzzing in flight
Tiny feathers glisten in sunlight
Sparkle like gems of emeralds and rubies
Beautiful creatures fast and sprite

Zooming and buzzing sounds 
Searching for nectar, whispers of songs
I have no doubt, it won’t be long
Before they feel the pull
Of flowers...

Able to breath,
in a moment of serenity,
staring into eyes,
that hold the beautiful sunlight,
booming hearts beat,
like the thrum of hummingbirds wings,
tracing circles softly on skin,
finger tips lightly touching,
kissing lips, skin brushing,
able to breath,
with you by me......

My favorite hummingbirds appear in early Spring
With fast fluttery wings and soft chirps, they sing
And rich emerald and ruby feathers so bright
Seeing them makes my heart skip with delight

Powerful tiny creatures seen in a flash
Flying in patterns of zigzags and a dash
Zipping and zooming around...

Ordinary…yet precious moments
That adhere ardently
To one’s heart

Points in time that 
Without reason or rhyme
Become outstanding… and stand apart

A trio of quarrelsome hummingbirds 
Outside of one’s window
Tentative, timid… first flakes of snow

Playful puppies fighting over toys
Prickly Hummers and puppies alike
Naught but bickersome boys

Just an ordinary moment,...

Haiku-flowers and hummingbirds


Dripping with nectar
Baskets rampant with fushia
Honeyeaters feast

For my friend Ahmad, who requested a poem about hummingbirds :) 

No hummingbirds
Nowhere hummingbirds
What the eff are hummingbirds?

Birds, the world is filled with flocks
They have the weirdest names
I am NOT playing games
No regulars like sparrows or hawks

(screamers) Anhimidae 
I'm asking you, what are they
(magpie goose)...

I stumbled on a hummingbird nest this spring quite by accident.  As I watched one of the parent birds flew to the nest.  Three hungry mouths opened to receive food from the parent.

The hummingbird disappeared quickly in the early morning dawn.

To love, agapic and/or erotic,
is a positive economic-political relational choice
to trust whomever
and whatever is our Other right now
with open caring empathy,
even when we may feel like withdrawing
into suffering,
self-isolating
depressive,
repressed concerns of mistrust and dissonance,
because we have faith 
that not only is this choice to integratively love,
to...

They are taking turns

Holy crap!!! My youngest daughter got me a four holed hummingbird feeder for Mother's Day. I was upset that I wouldn't be able to see them, until the snap dragons came up. I saw...

hummingbird morning
a picture I shall carry to my grave
walking through the garden 
hummingbirds fly in the golden air
I see myself shining everywhere...

From the wrought iron gables
the oblong hummingbird feeder dangles
shiny plastic, strawberry lip-gloss red.
It sways above my grandmother’s head
as she watches their vibrating wings.

She rests at the kitchen sink,
puts down her dishtowel, and smiles.
I want to ask if she is tired of housewifely trials,
but the cat...

I awoke with fragrant petals in my hair,
To see the gay hummingbirds hovering there,
In the prettiest colors that I've yet seen,
Among the knockout roses, on my garden green,
Humming and dancing, in the drunken summer sun,
And I relaxed under blue skies, to enjoy the fun!...
