Hummingbird Suitor            
Creativity Poem
Death Pregnancy
Island Life
The Hummingbird Suitor

A hummingbird surmised
That my red flowered dress
Was nectar for his feast
I invited him closer
Wishing I could
Spontaneously transform
Into a luscious
Succulent and dripping
Red hibiscus flower
Petals open in waiting
In anticipation
Of this dashing and dancing
Wonder of wonders
Born to know how to enter
With perfect precision and aim
To savor and depart gracefully
No wooing or deception
No hesitation
Straight forward
Honest
And superbly elegant
