Congratulations on winning the 5-7-5 poem contest. I love your work because it usually includes words of thanksgiving. As this poem indicates, hummingbirds are graceful and a delight to watch. Your chosen artwork is as beautiful as your poem.

You have made excellent use of your seventeen syllables in this lovely piece, which describes the unique little charmer and its sipping of sustenance. It's easy to see why this won.

Spreading wings of thanks--brilliant imagery! First I've seen that phrase. Clever alliteration/tongue twister nature's/nectar. Sugg: make title different from line of poem.

Hi Portia,

I was off FanStory for awhile and missed reading this. So beautiful with an amazing last line that warmed my heart ...

"spreading wings of thanks"....( tiny little flurries of thanks :))

So lovely and dear.

Well deserved win in the 5-7-5 contest!

Have a wonderful week and take care,
Senyai

This 5-7-5, Graceful Hummingbirds, has the right set up and creates a great scene where hummingbirds frolic and feed. Nice image to accompany.

Hummingbirds are my favorites...they are wonders of flight and so beautiful to watch. You have succinctly painted a word picture of their grace and beauty. So very well-done, dear Poet!
