Poetry Pantry # 354





This dear little fellow lives on a favourite branch right across from my small porch. I never tire of watching the hummers, darting back and forth to the feeders. They stick their noses in the nectar and just guzzle. So sweet.

We have a wonderful week shaping up, my friends. I hope you didn't miss Rosemary's Friday feature, where she wrote a thought-provoking essay about C.S. Lewis and the science fiction and fantasy genres. On Monday, you won't want to miss an update with Sherri Brannon, who is back online after some time away. She has been focusing on her art and will be sharing some beautiful poems, paintings and photos with us. On Wednesday, Susan's Midweek Motif prompt is Flowers. There should be some beautiful poems on that topic. And on Friday our intrepid Rosemary will have something interesting for us to enjoy, as always.

And now, for poetry! Link your poem, and do visit your fellow poets, in the spirit of community. Enjoy, and have a wonderful week.

  5. Sweet birds! And I do like being described as intrepid (big smile). Thanks for hosting the pantry so ably. I'm still playing with tan renga and haiku, so I'll see what I can find to share here.

  6. Love the pictures, Sherry. I have yet to take a good photograph of any ‘feathered friends’ – other than ducks and geese (I’m always a split second behind). Thanks for opening the Pantry Doors for blogging poets ~ everywhere ~ ~ ~

  8. Happy Victoria Day long weekend, Sherry, to you and all of our Canadian members, wherever, you may be living, now. Am sharing a very old poem that I wrote, in 2009, about a food allergy, I have to caffeine.

    If sugar feeders were placed outside of my apartment building, I would be see their ruby cousins, of your photos, Sherry. They used to visit my parents place, in Brampton, with all of the flowers that bloomed around the deck, that my dad built.

    1. Oh, that deck sounds beautiful, Therisa. When I lived at the farm, we had five feeders on the go, around the house, and the hummers were insatiable all summer, and so many of them. Here, most of them have now dispersed, to nesting grounds, or have moved farther north. I was alarmed, so asked a birder who lives across the hall, and he said this is normal here. Whew. I thought a plague had hit them.

    1. With no dog now, the only living things I have to tend are my potted tulips and my hummingbirds. They have to do! I do get to borrow a dog sometimes, for beach walks.

    2. Ha, there are so many tourists in town the line up is hundreds long, so I voted no. Sigh. Hopefully through local connections I can go another time without the thundering herd along. I so hoped for photos.

  18. So good to see so many poets back.
