Hello
A hum, a buzz
a flash of iridescent green.
First hummingbird in May
buzzes watering can –
disappointed, flies away.
Hello, I’m here.
We’re back.
Hang the feeder.
Plant more flowers.
a flash of iridescent green.
First hummingbird in May
buzzes watering can –
disappointed, flies away.
Hello, I’m here.
We’re back.
Hang the feeder.
Plant more flowers.
