~A Hummingbird’s Work~
High-pitched chirps fill the air
Lovely, fast, fearless
Appears out of nowhere
Nosedive to its target
Colorful flashes of red and green
Flitting from blossom to blossom
Work so consuming
Effortless movements seem like play
Epitome of efficiency
Another appears; the battle ensues
Darting to and fro
Slicing through the summer sky
Mighty warrior, do you never tire?
Come to the feeder, tiny and fierce
There’s plenty of nectar for all!
