Hummingbirds  – by Charmaine Candappa

Charmaine Candappa

Hummingbirds  - by Charmaine Candappa

I see the fanning of the hummingbirds wings 

Through the window slats

Whirling, swirling, around and around like propellers 

Draining the honey feeder.

Sudden flashes of glistening green 

Just for a moment these colors are seen 

Beaks bending in a feverish pace 

Hummingbirds back and forth 

From the big Oak tree to the patio 

Always in a hurried race.

Charmaine
