Short Hummers Poems

Calling all hummers
Fuchsia dripping with nectar
Open for business...

Pink throated hummers
deep in the colorful blooms
thrum the only tune

cornflower blue skies
hummingbirds in plums and reds
whipped cream clouds adrift

the scents of sunshine
follow the day everywhere
into ruby dusk...

Hummers

In the laziness of summer
To my garden dart newcomers
Ruby-throated flying hummers
Taste the nectar of midsummer
Ambrosia honey - hues of umber
When crickets chirp, rests in slumbers - upside down!

Hummingbirds often sleep upside down.

Birds are back, now it's Spring
Robins perched, hear them sing!

Blue jays squawk, dive for seed
Crows laugh, a warning heed

Hummers are back with zest,
wings buzzing until rest

Bird's Spring chorus delights,
a gift to watch their plights!

Wet 'n wonderful Monday morn
Not a time to fret  'n mourn
Hummers muster steady fluster
Tongues a flick in feeders
Males chase in up and down
As ladies take their turns to feed
It's all a constant dance to light
My joy of life in need
These visitors of tiny feather
So fine to see in any weather
Prevent my feeling down
It hurts to even frown...

Unlock heart of enigma,
Pulse pumping burning it's stigma,
Crying out for all unanswered,
Tears all turn ashes from blistered.

Unlock the heart of enigma,
Making all brims into karma,
Hungered with pinkish solitaire,
Red hummers filling up the air.

Unlock the heart of enigma,
Tuning songs into sloppy drama,
Unexceptionably killing every trust,
Would this heart stay or last..?...

It is about Foxglove digitalis
That is used as a heart med
And about Hummers whose 
heartrate must be high

Hummingbirds flitter, flutter, dip and dive,
       seeking ambrosial nectar
                from ample garden blooms.

Delightful, these tiny flying jewels
        with iridescent feathers--
                they fly but cannot walk.

Little hummers darting from bloom to bloom,
        their wings in ceaseless motion--
                Welcome to my garden.

Feeling a rush of false bravado
            though uninvited
I pitched a tent deep in your mind
there were many beautiful things
but the price was a menacing beast.
There were ruby throated hummers
meadow and flower surrounded by streams
but always just behind was the tapping hooves
           of that menacing beast
I was enchanted -thought of staying forever 
but the perils were a little to much
pulling up stakes-leaving your mind 
just as I'd entered, in a false bravado rush....

Her one friend got a Hummer.
The other a new Jeep.
I hate to tell you darling...
but, we are way too cheap! 

What happened to the oldies? 
A good ol' Chevy truck...
That's what you get so don't complain
or else you're out of luck.

We picked it up at auction.
It's deep purple and so cool.
I hope you don't mind driving
an '85 Chevy truck to school.

So, let them have their Hummers
their Hemi's and their cars.
Cause when we leave the mudhole 
you can tow them home with ours....
