O poised hummingbird
your fragile wings take flight, emerge
broken dreams from sleep.

O poised hummingbird
your meager frame sways in fright
but your hopes still safe. 


This haiku is shared with Haiku Heights and the prompt was Hummingbird.

  1. Yes, these little creatures do have meager frames, don't they? And yet they are able to do so much!

  6. What a beautiful image! The other day as I sat outside a hummingbird flew right up to me and hovered in front of my face for a moment... your poem made me feel that wonder all over again. Thank you!
