Magical Little Hummer
By Kym Gordon Moore
from Wings of the Wind: A Cornucopia of Poetry
Gracing me with your brief presence
dancing merrily with rapidly beating wings
as the morning sunrays reflect the pageantry
a shimmering metallic rainbow of colors.
Dancing merrily with rapidly beating wings
watching you dart between the canna and tiger lilies
a shimmering metallic rainbow of colors
exploring the sweet depths with your needle-like beak.
Watching you dart between the canna and tiger lilies
curiosity satisfying your hungry soul
exploring the sweet depths with your needle-like beak
in the morning glory’s then over to the petunias.
Curiosity satisfying your hungry soul
defying gravity, hovering with invisible support
in the morning glory’s then over to the petunias
your fair-like presence makes us laugh in awe.
Defying gravity, hovering with invisible support
buzzing, zooming, performing somersaults in the air
your fair-like presence makes us laugh in awe
not giving your shadow enough time to catch up.
Buzzing, zooming, performing somersaults in the air
swiftly flying away you ignite my chimes
not giving your shadow enough time to catch up
your charming performance makes the impossible look effortless.
Swiftly flying away you ignite my chimes
your magic is entertaining, titillating and fascinating
your charming performance makes the impossible look effortless
a sweet melody resonating with a stir.
Your magic is entertaining, titillating and fascinating
as the morning sunrays reflect the pageantry
a sweet melody resonating with a stir
gracing me with your brief presence.
