Guarder of the Nectar
The
green-throated hummingbird
perches
on a branch near the patio
feeder,
providing daily company
as
I peruse my morning paper.
As
other hummers fly close,
they
are quickly chased
away
in a blur of flight
by
the defending sentinel.
Hour
after hour, day after day,
he
guards his territory, bolting
after
any intruder who might
threaten
his personal supply.
