    Thanks for your review and comments for my vine haiku, Bob. The FS haiku club announces a new topic every week, and the committee selects what haiku will be included in the anthology that will be pipublished this summer. That's the reason why I've written a haiku a week.
    I'm glad you enjoyed this one and thanks for mentioning you liked the satori.
    Smiles,

This is a very fine haiku with excellent imagery
of the Hummingbirds/flowered cup
and solid grammatical connection in the present tense
A fine satori line with a human connection
Perfect art work to match you poem
Very well done

A lovely Haiku, and I am glad that you added the picture as I wouldn't have known the flower if you hadn't.
'Nectar bar' is a great expression, and makes me think we should get those hummingbirds some barstools!!

Thank you for sharing and well done!!

I love hummingbirds. I always have. There is something about their beauty and grace that sets my heart fluttering like their tiny wings.

This is so descriptive, colourful and uplifting and thoughts of vibrant cocktails comes to mind! The artwork is perfect but it's your words that speak volumes, love Dolly x

Hummingbirds are amazing birds. Not only that they can hover in the air, I believe they can also fly backwards. I wonder how a nectar bar tastes...
Nice one.

Great descriptive wording, I could visualise the hummingbirds very clearly. Perfect for this time of year too! I have never heard of that flower before, but I can now say I am familiar with it!
