Thinking About a Bird

by Nancy
(New York)

The day they hatch, they will be
The smallest bird you'll ever see
Why don't we think about them awhile?
Even though you may feel silly
Thinking about a bird

You can save a life, or two, or three
Just by doing something small
Because, in a while, they may be gone
That's something to think about

Your friends may think you're strange
Or, wasting your time
But who are they to judge?
Who knows?
Maybe hummingbirds feel strange
Thinking about you

Little Bird

by Dorothea
(New York)

Fast as light
Small as the palm of my hand
Little Bird, Fly
Soar as high
as you little wings will carry you
out of our world
go to your own
soaring through the night
Soar Little Bird
Soar so high
through
the deep
dark
night.

Please don't die Hummingbird

by Polly, age 10
(Portland,OR)

At the park I overheard a Hummingbird.
He said he had a swelled head
"hopefully he wont drop dead."

I ran over to the Hummingbird
He said his sight felt all blurred
"Oh how I hope he doesn't die
That will make me cry.

Aye it was all just a dream

Hummingbirds at my house

by Carolyn age 7
(Woodstock, GA)

I look out my window at the hummingbird feeder to check for hummingbirds everyday.
Some of the hummingbirds are perched on the feeder and some fly above and drink.
It is fun to watch the hummingbirds zoom around the yard.
I think hummingbirds are pretty with their red, green, purple, black, white, brown, blue, and gray feathers.
I like hummingbirds!

Hummingbird So Colorful

by Marylacy Collins

Hummingbird so sweet

What do you do hummingbird?

What do you see?

by Leah age 10
(Port. OR, U.S.A.)

I see a tiny red body,


With some blue and some green.
I see a thin black beak,
For sipping some nectar.
I see a little black eye,
and small little black feet.
Though the best thing I see,
Is those fluttering wings.
They flap so fast you can barely see them.
And there is the hum,
Do you know what it is?
It is the hummingbird.

One Quiet Spring Day

by Catalina G. Hill age 10
(Corpus Christi, TX, US)

One quiet spring day
I was lying in the grass
When a little bird, humming flew past
And I thought to myself, What a quiet spring day

I stood up and followed this bird
When it flew to a flower and relaxed, I knew it was a hummingbird
I watched this little hummingbird
And I thought to myself, What a splendid spring day

I made some hummingbird food
And it came out, and drank from the tube
As I watched the hummingbird eat
I thought to myself, What an amazing spring day

As the hummingbird finished the food
It flew around me with great gratitude
As I climbed into bed
I thought once more, What a quiet spring day

The Life Of A Hummingbird

by Stephanie Yap
(Puchong,Selangor,Malaysia)

A petite hummingbird
A small bird pictured
As an innocent, divine animal
Enchanting and blissful
With a entrancing song
I could listen all night long
Sweet and syrupy nectar
The hummingbird,now a greedy gobbler
The hummingbird flaps it wings,flying high
Then chirps to me goodbye

No Limits

by Heather
(New York)

My wings beat quickly
their colors vibrantly
contrasting with the
pale blue sky.

The golden sun warms
the butter hearts of
everything within
its shimmery reach.

I have no limits,
and neither does my spirit.

Humming Wings

by Allison Virgo
(Jamesville, NY)

How do I do it?
I wonder too.
How do I hover in one place?
Hover under the flower.
Or with another.
How do I do it?
Is it my size?
My shape?
Or
Is it my small, humming wings?

The Hummingbird: God's Amazing Creature

by Truitt
(Richmond, TX, USA)

Flitting, fluttering, flapping,
The hummingbird never napping.
Looking for flowers in his sector,
That bear good, sweet nectar.
This animal is God's splendid bird,
And there is much more about creation in His Word.

Fly Along

by Max Schulman 11 years old
(Jamesville Dewitt Middle School Syracuse,NY)

Hearing noises all


Around


You, everywhere you look you


Will see happy hummingbirds humming as loud


As they


Can, while sipping up lots


And lots of delicious nectar


Watch as they gracefully fly


Away happily!

Amazing Bird

The Joyful Hummingbird

by Lyddie
(Pacific Northwest)

The hummer looks so beautiful-
He comes to my door
He flutters away,
Then swings and swoops for more.

The hum makes a rhythm
That's gentle as a bee
He joyfully buzzes;
He dances, for he's free.

The Hummingbird Poem by Jeremy

by Jeremy, age 11
(Washington, DC)

Its glistening wings sing a song,
As it dips and flits along.

It shines in the light of the sun.
It flies around having fun.

In the fall, it migrates down
To Costa Rica’s little towns.

It drinks the nectar from the flowers
And zooms around for hours and hours.

Come springtime, it starts its northern quest
Finds more flowers and sculpts a nest.

The female lays eggs, they hatch and then
This poem happens all over again.

The Flying Poem

by Abishai Powers, 7
(Surfside Beach, SC, USA)

Hummingbirds are so very sweet.
I love making nectar that they eat.
The nectar is made of water, sugar, and dye.
It gives them energy so they can fly.

Silent Flyer

by Addison age 10
(Austin, Texas, United States)

The hummingbird
Flying silently through the air
Wings beating a million times a minute
Sipping cool nectar
Occasional sounds heard through out the day
Small creature
Big place
Silent Flyer

my little humming bird

by Alexis Russell
(Metlakatla, AK, USA)

My little humming bird, chirps all day.
But sometimes she looks a little gray.
Her chirping sounds beautiful.
U should hear it someday!!!
She sounds soooo beautiful, I make her sing at night.
So I can have a dream, what it would be like to be a humming bird.

This morning she was crying.
For John just died.
John was her husband, who also sang at night!
Oh, I felt so bad for Sarah, they were going to be soul mates, until thee end.
For poor Sarah, she refused to eat.
Cause John wasn't there.

Then she died.
So sad awful pain.
I will never forget, her beautiful look.
When she said goodbye.

Little Red Hummungbird in a tree

by Talise Gianna Jones age 6
(Las Vegas, NV)

Red hummingbird red hummingbird in a tree can you tell me what you see. Can you see the cat run, can you see the hot sun, can you see the dog play, can you see the sky so gray, can you see that little dime, can you see all the crime.

Flutter By

by Jackson Phillips
(DeWitt, New York)

What if
you try to find how many
beats per minute it has on your calculator?
No matter how strong your calculator,
on the screen would be
"ERROR."

This miracle bird
has baffled scientists
for centuries.

Every morning at my grandparents' place
I see these beautiful creatures
next to the bird feeder.

Unfortunately, hummingbirds
might die out in the world
if we don't act now.

To stop polluting
why don't we use wind and solar-
made electricity to power everything
and stop mass producing stuff
that no one needs?

Let's lead an environmental outbreak
that saves hummingbirds and the world, too.

In a hummingbird's perspective, would you
like to be poisoned by pollutants and lose
your food source?

If we don't stop ruining the world,
we won't see those beating wings anymore.

Right?

A Mile a Minute

by Bella Schrump age 10
(Indianapolis, Indiana, United States of America)

A mile a minute the humming heart beats.
A mile a minute the bird`s wings flap!
As the hours pass there is no way to slow down.
A mile a minute, the world is spinning.
A mile seems as long as a hummingbird`s list of intentions to make the world a better place! Slurping the nectar from the flower as fast as a mile a minute.
Nothing slows down for a hummingbird, it takes on challenges a mile a minute.

The Hummingbird Poem by Clay York

by Clay York, age 8
(Adel, GA, USA)

Flying silently
With a map for nectar,
A small bird
Quickly goes past me.
I wonder if it ever
Stops flapping it's wings?

Best Friend

by Rimjhim Tyagi age 11
(New Delhi, Delhi, India)

A best friend is one
While friends are many
We thank them a ton
For us what they have done !

A best friend is one
And friendship is close
We play in the sun
While our friendship grows !

A best friend is one
But has many qualities
Just like a rose
Showing some true colors !

Ruby-Throated Hummingbird (Haiku)

Swiftly through the summer sky.
They are wonderful.

The Hummingbirds Hum and the Other Birds Sing at the Seasonal Changes that Nature Brings

by Alif
(America)

The leaves of autumn float to the ground
as the brown, orange, and yellow appear
geese are migrating all around
the wind's faint whistling is the sound they hear

The Hummingbirds hum and the other birds sing
At the seasonal changes that nature brings

The dim light of the warm disappearing sun
fade as the last of the orange and yellow pass
It reflects the farewell song the birds have begun
The animals of the land leave at last

The Hummingbirds hum and the other birds sing
At the seasonal changes that nature brings

When the ground itself gets cold and dry
and the meadows and grasses lose their green
The white flakes descend from the cold winter sky
and the harvested plants exit the scene

The Hummingbirds hum and the other birds sing
At the seasonal changes that nature brings

Allison's Hummingbird Poem

by Allison Age 11
(Mansfield, LA)

Hummingbird, hummingbird,
Do you know how special you are?

Hummingbird, hummingbird,
You are the only bird that can fly in reverse.

Hummingbird, hummingbird,
You are not a singer of verse.

Hummingbird, hummingbird,
You are indeed rare.

Isabelle's Ode to a Hummingbird

by Isabelle age 10
(villa hills, KY 41017)

Your song of pure beauty falls straight into my heart,
Do you know what a divine, blissful creature thou art?
Your beauty enchants me, makes happiness flow,
When around you I smile, you make flowers grow.
As you soar through the sky you are fast, you are free,
I see you a lot from my favorite tree.
So hummingbird, hummingbird as I stand by these flowers,
I hope when I'm quiet your peacefulness showers.

Hummingbird Poem by Jay York

by Jay York, age 12
(Adel, GA, USA)

Hovering
Under a branch,
Moving swiftly
Minute by minute
Intensely searching for
Nectar
Gracefully
Beneath the sun
Inches tall with a
Ruby throat
Darting from flower to flower.

Little Sunset Gem

by Niamh.k

A flash of bright colors
darting into a flower,
moving it`s wings
with lightning power.

Just a colorful dot,
small as a bee,
lively and fast,
almost too quick for the eye to see.

It`s head feathers blood red,
wings a sunset flame,
wonderful dancing colors,
a bee hummingbird is his name.

Elias's Hummingbird Poem

Julia's Hummingbird Poem

by Julia Manolios - Age 7
(Floral Park, NY)

Hummingbirds flying over my garden
as I stare out the window, watching them go,
As happy as can be,
I did smile and laugh,
and a hummingbird heard me laugh,
as I ran outside and hugged it,
the hummingbird didn't mind,
and called it's family,
I hugged them, too,
just before they chirped a friendly good-bye
and scurried away.
