The hummingbird made me wonder

A bird was humming,

not far away.

In search of nectar,

in midst of May.

I looked from yonder,

at beating wings.

A sight of wonder,

in early spring.

 

A little bird,

with a slender bill.

Who seeks a rose,

in field and hill.

From every flower,

he takes a sip.

With ease and skill,

he makes the trip.

 

As he devoured,

some honey flower.

His thoughtless mind,

devoid from power.

There are two things,

he seeks in life.

To earn a meal,

and find a wife.
