Ode to a hummingbird

Flitting bloom to bloom

hummingbird fills her belly

for the long trip home

Infatuation

It's love at first sight

piercing the heart with beauty

and short-lived passion

Bffs

Best friends forever

they're with you through rain and shine

keep them if you can

Photobombed

Busy as a bee

on a warm summer morning

just photobombing

Fading away

As we get older

we fade into the background

get ready for it

The sentry

A lonely sentry

illuminating the path

for a way seeker

It's complicated

Life's complicated

intersecting story lines

millions of people

Transformation

Following the sun

east to west and back again

a true believer

Summer heat

Sultry summer days

sweat beading on your forehead

blame global warming

On the fence

Leaning on the fence

remembering good times past

while planning ahead

The ristra

Hot southwestern sun

bleaches wood and dries chiles

it's siesta time

Location Location

Life can be thorny

depending on your choices

pause and choose wisely
