Hi, Mike.
I love your celebration of that beautiful bird, but it is also small enough to be classifIed as an insect. In some parts of my state , you will find feeders full of sweetness in people's back yard.
You compare your spirit to that of a hummingbird. and your words are beautiful.
I really like your photo, Mike. Your free verse poem flows nicely.
Blessings,
Cindy

A very well-written poem about the spirit of a hummingbird that we admire as humans. Their colorful attire is one thing that attract our attention. And then their ability to hover and feed in mid air.

Your poem explains well the actions of the hummingbird. It is a very mesmerizing scene that one doesn't want to miss. The darting in place and if it is a set-up nectar feeder, it can last a while. Yes the art is exquisite.

Hello, Mike,

Beautiful poem about a hummingbird. They are so cute and look like a bird on crack. LoL

The presentation is beautiful. Your son, Jeremiah James, is a great artist.

I love birds - have a flock of them as pets.
You captured the magic of observing and for a moment sharing spiritual space with that tiny, delicate creature...the sweet hummingbird.
I love the imagery, and I recognized truth in your phrase, "dark eyes... searching my spirit for love or malice."
I look forward to reading more of your work.

Congratulations to both you and Jeremiah. The Pom and the art work join beautifully in a lovely, spirited whole. I,o, am a watercolor artist, and I must admit to a touch of envy of Jeremiah's gift..

This truly beautiful poem captures the very essence of the amazing hummingbird, which seems almost like a supernatural being. A vividly descriptive piece. LOVELY artwork by your son

I wrote a poem about those "flashes" of indescribable beauty that touch of something so incredible, that it's impossible to describe that one can't, I've tried to capture it on paper but even that eludes, I know WHO it is, I just can't say WHAT it is. Beautifully written Bro, blessing, Roy
