A tiny little hummingbird
Once took me by surprize
Whirring wings with color bright
He flew before my eyes.
Iridescent greens and reds
He took my breath away
He dipped right in the flowers
What a treat for me to-day!
He hovered over lilacsAnd the roses he did seek
He sucked up the sweet nectar
With his slender long black beak
I watch in awe as off he flew
His wings were beating fast
A tiny lovely hummingbird
I've seen up close at last.

i like hummingbirds... i remember when i was a kid, i'd get all excited upon seeing one.
i should get me a feeder.
but that might attract other birds
and i don't really like many other kinds of birds.
They really are fun to watch.
When I worked as a dental assistant, we had a feeder right in front of the window so the patients could see it from the dental chair. I refilled that bottle feeder often. We all enjoyed watching them buzz in for a drink.
