Rufous Hummingbird

rufous bird
hides in the camellia
avoiding raindrops

written to happily announce their colorful return to my feeder- hoping warmer weather will follow soon!

        Whimsy wind furrowing
        white torn pieces of cotton clouds. 
         In seamless sky
        luminous Moon is allowed
        Glory of rufous auburn Autumn
          stepping loud.
          Carrying pearly pristine peace
          Autumn feels proud. 
            Calm tranquil serenity to awaken
                      all around.

Hoatzin

"The Hoatzin is an extremely ancient and isolated type, and it has very properly been set aside in a separate Order by itself" - Quote by William Beebe.

He is doodle of peacock -- Rufous crest
buff breast, loud call, weird stock
malodorous, clumsy walk
a link of the first bird flock
Form: Englyn


Calypso

calypso darting
peering through open windows
rufous hummingbird

an old gourd hanging
blowing gently in the breeze
its peach tree abode

-----
this hummingbird has been hanging around all season, at first i thought it was simply due to the feeders. after doing some lawn maintenance today, i saw it entering a hollowed out gourd i put in my peach tree last summer. i figure, s/he is now part of the estate, may as well give it a name: calypso.
