Hummingbird Haiku
In the Lord I put my trust; How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain”? Psalm 11:1
Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Matthew 6:26
Watch the hummingbird
Flit, flit, and chatter, chatter
Taking in flowers
Dart here, dart there, land
Drink in the nectar, small one
Guard territory
You stop for a rest
No, you are standing on guard
Keep those off what’s yours
I don’t understand
How you just don’t see plenty
To drink for you all
Quick! Dash, dart and charge
Keep them all away. It’s yours…
Come back, land, stand watch.
While day is ending
There are several to behold.
Flit, dash, land and feed
Come morn, I hear you
Chittering excitedly
Buzzing all around you go
So many land and
Take their drinks until he lands
Again as guard of all
