Poem Number 2

Ok, I realize I'm not the best poet, but hey, I'm just starting out. Here's the second poem I've been working on lately.

 

Ruby-Throated Hummingbird

Tiny wonder

Hovering, drifting, from bloom to bloom

Seeking nectar in a graceful dance

Forward, backward, up and down

Sunlight glinting on a ruby throat

Sparkling like a costly gem

You, too, have opulence

In the garden

  

Wings pulsating in a blur

Giving you your precious name

Vibrating a melodious tune

With unknown words

Pausing from your liquid feast

You listen and you watch

In a flash, melding green white and red

You are gone
