Hummingbirds


Hummingbirds feeding.
 Buzzing wings - guard the nectar.
  Interlopers flee.
 
One smaller hummer
 darts and dodges. Expert wings.
  Territory raid.
 
 Watching to invade
  it makes a move. They counter.
   Fast rush. Wings ignite.
 
  Around the porch post.
   Wings stop - dropping like a stone.
    They chase, unaware.
   
   Out in the garden,
    the defenders rocket on.
     Falling for the trick.

Silently rising
 the smart one sips at leisure.
  Satisfied again.
