Here's a poem I wrote this summer while visiting my relatives in Maine. If you're careful enough, you'll be able to see this particular creature in the suburban/rural areas of Maine, flying around the right kinds of flowers.

Hummingbird

Late summer evening
The heat dying down
A light breeze cools off the land
Buoying my tiny body
As my wings beat up-and-down
Tirelessly, incessantly
I drift from one place to another
Until a brilliant mass of pink and white
Captures my beady eye's attention
My head peaks inside
Sweet fragrance slips through my nostrils
I dive in, drinking my ambrosia
It disappears before I'm satisfied
So I buzz on to my next treat
Wait!
A noise!
Startled, I make my escape
Morphing into merely
An emerald green fairy
A miniature blur of beauty
And you will never catch me
