The smallest gift
arrived on wings
visiting our flowers
If we had blinked
we would have
missed
this elegant, lovely
smallest gift
a hummingbird that
stopped for nectar
as it was passing by
the smallest gift
arrived on wings
to set in motion
renewed blessings
and appreciation for
our compact city garden.

Hummingbirds are such lovely surprises.
goldennib, this was such a lovely surprise. Fortunately I was there as he passed by heading south for the winter. Truley I held my breath, with surprise :)
a gift of life perhaps, tiny but momentous to the hummingbird.
that IS one of the best things that could happen on a day.
lovely poem. u'e captured it so well with your words that I can imagine it all quite well myself!
