Hummingbird

Exquisite Hummingbird
On winged endless flight
Blown in on soft wind
Flutters into morning light
A welcome familiar friend
Nuzzles bright red bloom
Then darts off again
Flower to flower resumes
In feathered costume
Colors to delight
So sweet a tiny sight
In window bright
As nectar sipped
Tongue gently dipped
Smiles excite
To vivid delight
Heart beating fast
Humming wings
Softly sings
Flies away
In morning dew
Day still new
Returns
Begins
To sip
Again
