Hummingbird


Feathered gem flown out of sight
Then back gleaming in the light
Perhaps the smallest in flight
Yet I’ll meet no bolder knight

  5. I so love hummingbirds and your poem dances like they do. Now we are down to only one feeder...they are making their way south. But, soon, I will join them. Glad you made it in time.

  7. So very late to the reading -- last days of vacation by the water's edge in Provincetown. But what a delight to read this morning. I feel the hummingbird flitting in your words. Love this!
