The Majestic Hummingbird

by Grace Neuger Age 12
(New Jersey, USA)



Cuts through the
Clear blue sky
First a tiny blur
Then the solid shape
Of a hummingbird

Stop and marvel
The glistening, shining
Feathers
Sunlight reflecting off
like a jewel

O, majestic hummingbird,
So peaceful, yet energetic
How are you so beautiful?

Fly away
Hummingbird
Like a jewel,
Forever

The Iridescent Angel

By: Elise F. age 12
(Chevy Chase, MD, USA)


My heart beat matches the beat of his wings
Fast like lightning and when a bee stings
Shimmering feathers, like the light in my eye
Gleaming like the sun, blazing in the sky
A beak so finely shaped, it's perfection
No flower will ever face rejection
Radiant colors, rainbow, iridescent
Only one word fits; luminescent
Here I am face to face
In a exquisite garden, an alluring place
With a dazzling beast, so flawless, so pure
You're sure to be awestruck, let's hope there's a cure.

Today I saw a hummingbird, it was lovely as can be.
If you ever saw a hummingbird I think you would agree.
I marvel at his colors, such a pretty sheen,
He reminds me of a rainbow, yellow blue and green.
He visits flowers one by one and hovers by and by,
And sips the nectar oh so sweet, like a butterfly.
His wings he flaps so rapidly one can barely see,
He flies not like the other birds but like a bumblebee.
