The Hummingbird

From flower to flower

it flits and sips

the nector so sweet

without using lips.

Beautiful! Loved it. The Hummingbird is a beautiful bird and you have shown it in your lines amazingly.
The way they drink, dance everything about these small creatures is wonderful. I wish we were like them, happy and carefree.

Hummingbirds drink with their tongues by rapidly lapping nectar. Their tongues have tubes which run down their lengths and help the hummingbirds drink the nectar. Great little poetic write highlighting the Hummingbird's 'dance'!

[Dara]

Thank you so much. I love the way you describe their antics as a little dance. They are so much fun to watch!

Very funny. The poor bird can get the nectar he needs but can't kiss his mate.

[Dara]

Ah, I hadn't thought of it like that but you are spot on :-) Thank you so much.
