Humming Bird

Dew drop
lily pads
float
on
emerald
aromatic
hydrophobic
playgrounds
Curvaceous
searching
contours
of the
forest
floors
where the
valley
contorts
at the hip.

I take a flower
and have a sip

Hummingbird connects title to poem through the splendid last lines, which work double duty: your brief yet sharp imagery brings me to the green, and when the bird sips, it's as if I do, as well.

You use very rich language in your poetry, and this one is really lovely. I liked this part in particular:
'where the
valley
contorts
at the hip.'

Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree with everyone else; the last two lines are are great. This is a good piece, built up well and full of description with such few words.

I love the little rhyme at the end there - really ties it up and gave me a nice surprise. Nice shape and lovely language. Well done!
