The Hummingbird Poem by Ernestine Northover

The Hummingbird

Rating: 4.0


He hovers above the delicate flowers,
His wings can vibrate with exceptional powers,
And with his long beak, draws out nectar sweet,
Making him the world's best selector petite.

The hummingbird sends out a rhythmic hum.
Whilst enjoying his feast on the delphinium.
His wonderful plumage, iridescent and fine,
Sparkles multicoloured in the balmy sunshine.

With absolute purpose, he's impressive and bold,
The smallest of birds, yet a delight to behold.

A lovely piece, Ernestine. the second stanza is really beautiful and I love the rhyme that flows throu. I also like that you have the last stanza as a couplet, that works very well.
