A Humming Bird In My Garden Poem by Valsa George
A Humming Bird In My Garden
Sudden, as a bolt from the blue,
Came down a humming bird;
Skimming down and darting up
As an ever revolving top.
It reeled round and round
Before it alighted on a shoe flower;
That hung from a drooping branch
In the corner of my front yard garden.
It precariously clung on to it
Like a small pendant on a chain
A sight so cool, now so rare
That lighted up my dull spirits!
Once they, showed themselves up
On almost every sunny day
Promptly after the monsoon rains
When the plants en masse, in resplendent blooms
Oh! How I love this tiny bird
Not larger than a bumble bee
Dressed in a cloak of green and black
Flitting round on fluttering wings
With terrific feats and nimble jerks
It hovers close to hanging blooms
Balancing itself sans any support
And draws out nectar with needle bill
I fail to capture its lightning move
As it goes whizzing through the lambent air
Quickly disappearing like a mote of soot
Losing itself in the vast expanse of the blue
Being less than an ounce of fat
So light, sleek and well streamlined
It travels faster than the light of speed
In a fleeting dash, moving out of sight
Can any other bird rival it in agility
Or vie with it in its simple grace?
How cute, this spirit of ‘unbodied joy'
This winged diminutive denizen of the sky!
A wonderfully crafted poem on the humming bird.One could actually be with you and the bird throughout the poem and enjoy This winged diminutive denizen of the sky! KUDOS, vALSA!
Dear Prof, I can imagine the Humming Bird in your Garden! I like each and every stanza! especially the way the bird clinging to the drooping branch! It precariously clung on to it Like a small pendant on a chain! I learn lot of new words like bumble, lambent, mote and soot etc. I would like to see your garden and humming bird also!
I have relaxed on my front porch and can count the times that I have actually seen one of these small and very agile little bird. They can flit about so precariously that you can hardly take a quick look at them. Obviously you live in an area where the humming bird thrives. Where there are lots of blooming flowers and shrubbery. A great use of words you have use to describe this unique little creature. A well crafted write my friend. Enjoyed your write to the highest.
A very vivid and beautiful description of a hummingbird. In a couple of seconds I was able to take a glimpse of this wonderful bird. This marvelous write expresses in beautiful detail the great attributes of a hummingbird. Beautifully crafted and well executed write. Superb imagery.10++++++
Humming bird is ever adorable and this winged diminutive is denizen of the sky. Skimming down this reels round and round and this entirely amazes mind. A great imagery is drawn for this bird in this poem. This is very beautifully penned.10
A tiny, attractive bird with black and orange combination, and a long pointed beak that sets it apart as a wonderful creation of God. Loved the soft flow and the texture of this beautiful humming bird poem. A sure 10+++
I love this bird, Valsa-ji. But, unfortunately, we don't see them much in our areas. What we have is a slightly larger variety. Last year around this time I was at Tucson, Arizona, USA, where these birds are seen aplenty. In fact, at one of their aviaries, there is a special enclosure for the humming bird. There they give you wonderful scientific details about this bird's habits and movements. Your poem is a nice write. Enjoyed it. (10)
