You get a star for the phrase "swirl prisms..."

A spinner, is that like a hummingbird, for that is the image I have in my mind.

The question occurs: who is enchanted, the sipper or the watcher? I think that is the part of the Haiku I like best.

In another week or so we will put our hummingbird feeders out to make sure we get established on their appointed rounds. Then, later we put thistle out for the finches.

You've done well. It's perfect! I'm glad the poets are coming back to the Haiku; they say so much in so few words, at the same time giving such beautiful, concise images of nature.

And I thought you were hunting for elvens! I guess everyone is entitled to a break especially when one spins such prisms of delight as this.

The varied seeds and fruit are all heaped high
For our feathered friends who might fly by.
The snow is still upon the frozen ground
I hope the scarlet cardinal comes around.

The sparrows, junkos are having a gourmet blast,
They gobble it up ,like it will never last.
The bluejay with his mighty shrill
Sits upon the frozen window sill.

The bird bath will have to be filled come spring,
If I want to hear the robins sing.
Soon time to put out wool and twine
To make new nests, it will work just fine

What would we do without our feathered friends,
The beauty of nature never ends.

A tractor bears corn
Creeping through the darks woods now
And now life returns

Trails of golden love
Cast freely like the sunshine
Springtime brings forth chirps

Cute little bugger. Be sure to degnome your flowers before the elves show up, just be careful, they bite hard.

I put seed in my 4 bird feeders and sugar water in my hummer feeders, and dried corn on the cob on my 3 squirrel feeders all winter, and up until about June. I'll start again in mid November. Again, watch the gnome's teeth, they can be quite vicious.
