In my garden of flowers I while away easy hours, Sweet fragrance surrounds, Contentment is found. With anticipation I rest Near the robin's nest, Where I will be blessed By a lovely beauty fest. With warm morning sun They arrive one by one Sipping flowers that grow While I enjoy the show. Darting and dipping around With a soft humming sound, Colors glinting in sunlight, Such a delightful sight. Fluttering to and fro they go Dining on blooms that grow, Sipping sweet nectar within Before winging off again. Their elegant beauty astounds As they rapidly make rounds, Hovering over flowers bright, A feat of enchanting flight. I derive an emotional high As tiny beauties zoom by, Beauties pleasing to behold, Feathered in colors so bold. The hummingbirds will fly away To shelter from the torrid day, But will return in dusky twilight, Charming my heart with delight. ©Written by: Kenneth J.
