Hummingbird Artist

 (A Cinquain)

A

humming

bird in flight

is much too fast

to just watch and wait

while I collect

its nectar

for my

words

This They Don’t Tell You

 (A Rondelet)

 

This they don’t tell you

Falling in love has its own thorns

This they don’t tell you

Smiles are stars with devilish horns

that bleed the heart but save so few

and mock a queen with a crown that scorns

This they don’t tell you
