Poem
I An ode to the courageous hummingbird The tiniest bird, but bravest of all He flits about without saying a word, When most unexpected he comes to call Fluttering gossamer wings rapidly, He graces the feeder in an instant While hovering in usual fashion, His colorful feathers preened nattily The ruby at his throat most dominant --Epitome of avian passion. II His coat glistens with iridescent hues Most easily seen in the bright sunlight He’s glaring at me from his fleeting views, Interrupting his bold, erratic flight I look back at him with determined poise Enraptured by his slow backward retreat With rare aplomb think him taken aback, I hear his delightful low humming noise As he refuses to admit defeat, Comes quickly to my face, spiraling back. III Oh, sweet little fellow so loved and prized Topic of bird-lovers conversation Yet when you appear, I am so surprised Enamored with your gay presentation, Wanting to hold you to my gentle breast To say I have made you my little friend Your colorful beauty so astounds me, So far surpassing Mother Nature’s best Lovelier shades always make up your blend Love you, hummingbird, my pleasure to see.
