Hummingbird and aloe bud picture by Gretchen Hosking
Pretty small creature
Flitting about aloe blooms
Spring is in the air
Hello Readers and welcome to the last day of March #NationalCerebralPalsyAwarenessMonth and the unofficial start to #NaPoWriMo. Today’s prompt at NaPoWriMo.net –And now for our early-bird prompt (optional, like all our prompts!) Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a poetic self-portrait. And specifically, we’d like you to write a poem in which you portray yourself in the guise of a historical or mythical figure.
And no the above haiku is not for the prompt. The haiku challenge word on twitter today is pretty and after reading the self-portrait poem by Mary-Kim Arnold, I was thinking about birds. We have had several (or maybe one several times) hummingbirds visit our aloe this spring. They are quick little creatures and I haven’t been able to photograph them, but lucky for me I borrowed a photo without permission.
Playful zephyr lifts
away winter blues, touting
how lovely is spring

A hummingbird has to one of the most pleasant sights.
They are fun to watch but to be honest living in AZ, we have them year round. They do love when the aloe is in bloom though.
