A Hummingbird zips along, sipping nectar and humming a song with swiftly beating wings. |
Hummer's Garden The hummingbird zips, zapping sweet-flowers, zing-wings buzzing in the breeze as he searches for his next nectar picnic in a field full of blooming beauties. Over listless lilacs and Queen Anne's lace he flits, the echo of his beating wings singing them invisible lullabies. Red poppies greet his arrival, blood-beacons beckoning Hummer to court a Cardinal Flower, or perhaps taste the sweet liquid-music of Trumpet Honeysuckle. Who is he, this light-speed avian conductor? He is valiant buzz-bird, a composer humming sounds and sipping sap from a garden orchestra while the Universe bestows upon them all a standing ovation of serene and silent applause. |
