Female Broad-billed Hummingbird at the Patio Feeder — Image by kenne
She arrives without sound,
only the shimmer of green
and the hum of still air.
Beak dips to red bloom,
sipping the sun’s sweet echo
drop by hidden drop.
For a moment, she hangs
between heartbeat and breeze—
then vanishes in a dart.
Thank you, Kenne, for the wonderful poem and the beautiful hummingbird!
