HUMMINGBIRDS

SWEET NECTAR

I fed the hummingbirds today.
I can't for certain tell you why.
They're such inspiring little birds.
I like to see them round me fly.

A brain small as a grain of rice;
A 'finger' flown by two inch wings;
To see them hover, dart about;
Is one of the most awesome things.

The Rufus has a bib that glows
Just like a pretty hologram.
And when he shows his neck to us
He says with beauty, "God I am".

If two decide they can not share
They start to hover face to face
And then a helix they create
As they fly straight up into space.

Now as I think the more I feel
The reason why I like these birds;
They could be angels in disguise,
A flock of little flying words.

Absolutely charming! Obviously, you watch them for hours. I find them fascinating, as well. To think that they might be angels would be delightful; however, they sure can be little fighters, when the need arises! For something so small, they sure are mighty. I love your description of them as little fingers! I never though of them that way. Carolyn

Dear Doug ~
I came across your lovely Hummingbird poem today.
I am an artist and a hummingbird fanatic and decided
to put some special Hummingbird pages up on my main website, sandysandy.com. If it would please you, I would like to put your poem up on my site with credit to you and a link to your website. I will bookmark your site and will be back to read more of your beautiful poetry when I have more time. I also do a twice-weekly art and philosophy blog with inspirational quotes called "Spirit Art" that you may find interesting. Wishing You Abundance Always, Sandy

Thank you Sandy,
On occasion in the past I have felt my spirit soar as if "...on wings like eagles...". On this occasion it soared as if on wings like hummingbirds. I will put the link to your site at the end of my poem to give visitors the opportunity to be similarly uplifted by your art.

Such a warm and pretty,
a touching little ditty.
I have seen some wondrous birds
and their description - well words
all but fail me.
Yet I cannot think
of anything more satisfying
than viewing such a one
whilst supping a drink
of herbal essence tea;
seated on a deckchair
without a care
in this fair
land.

Thanks for sharing the view with me. Doug.E.Barr

I quoted to you on Facebook today
'cos it's really fair and quite true to say,
I stiil cannot help but smile
all the meanwhile
when I view
the two
plus ++ hummingbird.
Quite absurd
I expect,
but they make me feel warm over all.
E'en when the clouds layer a pall
over the watery Spring sun.
They look so full of innocence and fun.
Ciao for now X:)

Beautiful little poem about beautiful little creatures. I always love poetry which captures the spirit of our Creator, especially through tiny, fragile, and "Angelic Gifts" such as these. Thanks for sharing Doug.
