The Web Poetry Corner - Diane Klammer - Feeding the Hummingbirds

Feeding the Hummingbirds

by

Diane Klammer

Our humming feeder
Has to be cleaned
The bright red liquid
Poured out
The mold scrubbed
From the glass
To prevent the tiny
Long bird tongues
From swelling

This process reminds me of scrubbing
Bottles for my children
When they were young
Now they are leaving the nest

Every three days
Seems like so much bother
The trick is to fill them
Only a little

I look at the wasted
Liquid and sigh
Then I hear
Whirring of small wings

One of natures miracles
It is the ruby throat
Brilliant in the sun
That shows me it's worth it.
