The Hummingbird
So beautiful I love this bird
The Hummingbird
A tiny flash of emerald bright,
Wings a blur in morning light.
It hovers near the flower’s bloom,
A fleeting joy, dispelling gloom.
Its fragile frame defies the sky,
A marvel quick, too fast for eyes.
Yet in its dance, so small, so free,
It carries whispers of mystery.
Through gardens, it darts with grace,
A gentle spirit, hard to trace.
A sip of nectar, sweet and pure,
Its fleeting stay a gift, for sure.
It speaks no words, yet tells a tale,
Of life’s great beauty, small and frail.
Its song is silence, yet we hear,
A melody of hope sincere.
hummingbird, so beautifully fair,
A fleeting dream beyond compare.
Stay but a moment, linger near,
And fill my heart with quiet cheer.
For in your wings, I see the truth,
The fleeting wonder of our youth.
A symbol bright of life’s delight,
You paint the world in colours light.

A Visitor's Guide To Victorian England
A Book Review Being interested in all things Victorian, I am constantly looking for books on the Victorian Era. In fact, I should admit that I am obsessed about ‘all things Victorian’. From the clothes worn by men and women, rich or poor, to how they lived, where they lived, what they ate and would (or would not ) drink, what kind of transport there was, who worked where, who went to school (and who didn’t), the list really is endless.

Tranquil and pleasant to read!
Hummingbirds are great fun to watch when feeding or just hovering around. Great work on this little bird of flight.
I love Hummingbirds too. You did a beautiful poem about this little special bird.
Absolutely lovely. My parents place in Georgia where my brother now lives has humming birds. There are feeders on the porch rafter and I would sit and watch the humming birds for long periods. Lovely work. 🥰
