Hummingbirds Hanging Out

 

By Sharon Lea

 

Hummingbirds like to hang out

by the red bird feeder

like kids on the street corner

sipping sweet nectar

they hover so playfully there

darting sideways and back again

playing in the noon day sun

having lunch in the spring breeze

Hummingbirds like to hang out

snacking on pieces of fruit

maybe a juicy insect for dessert

enjoying every moment they spend

playing tag and hide and go seek

sometimes fighting for that spot

a place that they can call their own

hovering for a few moments

Humming birds like to hang out

as they sip their nectar so gracefully

and yet float with unbridled energy

dancing through life on beautiful wings
