~~Summer Sprite~~
See the delicate hummingbird,
As tiny as a baby's thumb.
Zooming through the flower garden,
Sipping sweet elixir from each mum.
His exquisite plumage sparkling,
In the summer's radiant sunlight.
Like wee precious diamonds,
Iridescent colors seem to ignite.
Flitting from flower to flower,
As rapid as the eye can blink.
To each blossom he will zoom,
Delicious nectar he will drink.
A diminutive flying wizard,
Darting sideways and upside down!
Hovering almost stationary,
From morning's first light to sundown.
What a wonderful acrobatic aviator,
Performing truly Amazing stunts!
To each bouquet he skillfully zips,
Imbibing the sweet juice more than once.
