Hummingbird

A very odd bird. It is as if he defies gravity.

In a haze of hummingbird

on the flowers landed

there are wings of rainbow

and a beak of nectar

 

full as a kiss

it taste like colours

folding gravity

 

none who’s expecting honey

or the seed

and still

 

and still

 

the earth is written

with the flight of the shadow

the dew, the drop of water

 

in the nibs and the bill of the bird

the clearing of the pistil

to give and take

 

to fly in the sky

I love this write and the humming bird. We have a few that come by our yard all the time. The are attracted to the red color so we have a red feeder and they are so beautiful to watch. They really do seem to defiy gravity!

A tender piece you have written Rudi Hummingbirds are fascinating in their fast wings of flight and hovering. You brought the reader to the eyes of the bird, well done.

This is beautiful, Rudi, and the timbre of your voice, lifting above the music is akin to the flight of the hummingbird... I see colours when I hear music and this creative approach paints a wonderful picture of love in the give and take of life... beautiful.

This piece reminds me again of my biology class . What a wonderful depiction of a winged creature in flight and how they aerodynamically glides effortless and smoothly in the air . And that perfect balance to seemingly stopping in the air to sort of kissing and drinking the food of the gods . I used to see these creatures alot . Now it seems very rare now aday to really encounter one up close and personal . Splendid write Rudi ...

Thank you Neil, for your favourable comment. I consider Dragonfly and Hummingbird of my best nature poems and you have picked them both. Thank you again. :) Rudi
