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.

So very nicely composed. Lovely verses Saleh. The lines flow beautifully. All good wishes.
Thank you Cassie.
Nature is beautiful and so is the hummingbird. People need to appreciate what God has granted them and be thankful.
Beautiful little creatures I see different ones and sometimes they come indoors buzzing around from room to room. A delightful poem
Life is beautiful if you are able to see it. And the hummingbird is itself a wonder of nature. Thank you for lovely comment.
My comments on the poem “The hummingbird made me wonder” by Saleh Ben Saleh
Watching the hummingbird sucking up its food is a fascinating sight. The bird is full of confidence and poise. It maintains its posture, staying at the right height and distance from the flower. It beats its wings just to stay on the spot, as a helicopter hovers. It does not barge into the flower, or it will damage it and spoil what it is looking for. Notice how it folds its feet and keeps its body in balance while hovering. A machine can hardly have such grace. As for finding a wife, many birds build nests and wait for a mate, but not all of them are lucky in this. However, like other creatures, they have hope. For it is this that helps to ensure the reproduction of the species. This instinct is hardwired in all species. Soman Ragavan. 4 August, 2024.

Thank you Soman for all the useful information.
Yes the hummingbird is a wonder of nature and proof of perfection in God's creation.
Nice take on one of the amazing things around us if we just take the time to look. You obviously have. Nice work.
