    Humming Bird

    Flapping wings fast
    Where you created last
    Whats the hurry ?

    Blues, greens, yellows
    Love your true colors

    Turn left, turn right
    Can`t follow your flight

    I was afraid you would bite
    It was close to night

    Next to the lemon tree
    I cound`nt hold it in me

    Sparkling colors of
    Gold and yellow liquefied
    I was petrified !

    I thought one more foot
    And i would lose and inch

    What would you do ?

    Poor humming bird
    Why does your wings
    Look gold and yellow now

    Humming bird remember
    All that glitters is`nt gold.

    Everything you want irony to be in a poem this work achieves. To draw a parallel between how the hummingbird sees things and how the voice views things does so much for this poem. I also like how the voice warns that at that glitters isn't gold. You may have heard that before but never heard it in this very unique way. I will read this again.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
