So Many Hummingbirds
by
Donal Mahoney

This August evening
so many hummingbirds
helicopters of the garden

hover and dart
iridescent in the dusk
flower to flower

sipping perhaps
a last supper
then flying South

before the leaves
before the snow
us at the window

praying they'll stay
knowing they can't
praying for spring

I like your poems very much Donal. But being an old_fashioned sort of person. I like a little help reading it - especially for the first time. A few commas, full-stops etc perhaps? Maybe that is just a sign of old-age!
