Comment from Margaret Bednar
I was certainly drawn in by the watercolor painting your son, Jeremiah, painted. Yes, pair more often with him. My favorite stanza is the last one, "but for a moment I knew the spirit of a hummingbird". Gorgeous line!

I believe the heartfelt thoughts come across, but the reading of it seemed a bit disjointed. It did not flow easily, causing the reader to lose the storyline.

Enjoyed your poem describing a spiritual experience of connecting with the spirit of the marvelous little hummingbird. They are fantastic creatures to watch.

Kudos to Jeremiah! This is an exquisite watercolor. I loved your poem perhaps as much for your skill in verse as my lifelong wondrous affinity to hummingbirds. They have always fascinated me... Karenina

Comment from mermaids
I enjoyed reading your tale about the tiny hummingbird. I am so fond of these diminutive birds, Your descriptive words capture the image of hummingbirds and the feelings they evoke. Excellent use of words and poetic form that impacts the reader."He shares the freedom of pure flight" is a line that captures the image of the hummingbird as he flits about, the reader can see him clearly.

The author's words are engaging, descriptive, spiritual and creative.
The author conveys a beautiful picture of an encounter with a
hummingbird. The artwork is awesome and compliments these words
so well. Have a great weekend!

I watch for hummingbirds but rarely see them even though I kept a feeder for years. Finally gave up after only seeing one and he was not going to my feeder. Your poem is a lovely tribute and your son's picture sets the stage for your words. Nicely done.

Loved your poem AND your son's amazing painting. I was able to connect well with your poem, because I love hummingbirds. There are so many in the flowers outside my home, every day I watch them "dancing" while collecting the nectar. Thank you for bringing a smile on my face.
