It's a Hummer
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' and Hibiscus
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 like you could be fluorescent;
and blessed with a sweet detector

Just Bee-Have
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 gouging, between you and I.)
What can a bee drink and

Garden Hummer Conundrum
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 soon
from your Yucatan vacation.
2000 miles from your lagoon,
a miraculous migration.

'o, Sweet Hummer'
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- repeat,
hummer is a skilled nectar collector.
There are many kinds of

Big Bummer Selling Hummer
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.

The Hummer Slammer Beat
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!

The Hummer
(revised on August 24th)
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 saying?)
So I’m down in my basement/apartment right?
Staring at the ceiling

Ruby Throated Hummer
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
