My Humming Bird

Poem by Sophie R. Walker of Cerro Coso Community College
2015 Met Awards - Second Place for College Poetry

Take time to stretch your wings
My humming bird
Ever Roving,
Listen to your song
Graceful
Constant
Waking the air.
Prismatic myriad of welcoming petals.
Flittering
For your need of nectar.
Energetic performance of nature’s creation
Perfectly accepted inconspicuous noise maker.
