Hummingbird flies close
Around the watering can
I hold in my hand

Hummingbirds are curious, although they rarely come that close to humans! What a wonderful experience!

Lovely! The hummingbird must have been
your muse that day. I have a dragonfly
that keeps coming to visit me. Now I'll
have try to write a poem as clever as
yours for him.
