RG,

Thanks so much for this outstanding review, six-star rating, and very kind comments.

You made my day and put a big smile on my face.

I have been away for a while; my hubby is in the hospital; this is the last place we would want to be. The hospital is allowing one family member to be with him. He has a bowel obstruction; the doctors try to treat him to see if the obstruction will work itself out. We are praying that surgery will not be required.

I am glad to know all is well with you.
Please take care, my friend.

Much love...Portia

Gracefulness floats on your words. The picture is a fine complement to your poem even though your words tell it all. I love the last two lines "feast on nature's sweet nectar ~
spreading wings of thanks"

I love your use of the verb "feast" as it brings a sense of celebration in the hummingbirds enjoying the nectar. Great use of personification in the last line as we can imagine the birds are giving thanks like humans give thanks and praise to God.
Congratulations on the win!

What a beautiful picture with equally beautiful words, Portia. Congratulations on our first place win. The tiny birds do seem like they are saying thank you. Great job with the syllable count per line and the perfect background color.
Respectfully, Jan

I am glad I have some sixes left. This is simply stunning, in imagery, expression and presentation. Congratulations on the very deserved win.

I love hummingbirds myself, they are delightful little creatures.

This should do extremely well in the contest, good luck in the booths.

The author's words are sweet, descriptive, clear and creative. I pondered
on my love for Hummingbirds and how this enhance it. The poem flows and connects well. The artwork is awesome and goes so well with these
words. Have a great Holiday Weekend!

This is a great entry for the contest. Hummingbirds are such interesting creatures. I don't think we have any around here, but they are fun to watch as they dart so quickly through the air.
