Rufous Hummingbird (Selaphorous Rufus)
No hummingbird caught
He had been trying for years
He was five years old
Hummingbird at rest
stillness belies its heartbeat
thousand a minute
Seeds burst, roots shoot down
coy climbing vines blush flowers
courting hummingbirds
outside on the phone
hummingbird flies by my head
thrumming wings say all
Update: These haikus were written on Tuesday, May 24th. The tyrant RD gave the pirate and houseguests an "assignment" for the day: Write a haiku about hummingbirds. These are the results. This is what happens when you visit the bums. You never know what will be asked of you.
