~Happy Monday To Amy's Place~


Hummingsbirds

Rainbow colors adrift
upon a wee glittering bird
In flight so swift
scarce a humming is heard

Into the trumpet vine
she dips in a dash
slender bill to devour
nectar drink in a flash

Out like a space ship
jewel bright in the sun
skyward she skips
the journey not done

Away to a cup nest
of spider web and down
hidden in a jade green
beautiful gown

Guarded for a fortnight
are two pearly eggs, white
Then on a summer's day
tiny birds soar in flight

Ever darting again
as little shooting stars
off to feast on silken seed
where lilies are

  THE HUMMINGBIRD

the hummingbird is oh so small, he's almost not a bird at all
a ruby throat and long thin bill for drinking nectar to his fill
he twice a day, my window buzz but I don't ask him where he wuzz
and he wont tell me just becuzz it's not my business what he duzz.

Meg, that’s the type of hummer I get at my nectar feeders. So beautiful and wonderously made by our Lord.

Cheers!
