Fast your wings flutter
Taste the flowers sweet nectar
Hover, then you're gone!

hehe...this is a fun little haiku!
It kind of reminds me of...well, uh, of me when I'm on a sugar high! (Which seems to be distressingly often...) My wings tend to buzz and carry me places when I'm like that, it's kind of a blessing and a curse...

But I think you're talking about hummingbirds here, a lot of which take up residence around my house! I have 4 feeders at compass points around my house, and I like to sit in the afternoon and watch them as they drink. They're really cool birds, aren't they?

Great job in packing so much into a 5-7-5 format!

You did it again, Bro! Wonderful picture you paint in this one, of those little feathered friends. I love humingbirds, but we don't have any around here. Sigh...Love, Sis

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

When nectar's all gone
Oh, so quick to propeller
Flitting hummingbird
