A lovely haiku. I have a trumpet vine and the humming birds do love love it. So far it has not been too invasive but I know it can be.
Nectar bar is a perfect satori line.

Well done.
Blessings
Janet

A Beautiful well Executed Haiku.

A Well Composed Writing Blended with Brilliance of Image.
One that will Suspend the Reader as does the Hummingbird to Hesitate Sipping the Nectar of Verse.

An Excellent Entry.
Very Well Done...Irish...Very Well Done...Q.T...Phil.

You have written a delightful haiku. That twist or Ah huh moment in the final line made me smile. I love watching hummingbirds. They get very territorial about their source of food, too. Well done.

Harmonic! Beautiful! Earthly poetic Haiku! I liked and enjoyed the artistic musical rhymes, the word visual imagery of hummingbirds gathering for nectar.

HI, Kar,

You're a master of the well executed nature haiku. Your haiku is in fine form. It juxtapositions two concrete images, humming birds and trumpet vine, thus forming a vivid image for the reader to ponder. Also, it captures an observable moment in time--nothing imagined or abstract here. The satori is perfect! Nectar Bar! Love it!

An excellent entry for the HC book.

Ray

This haiku, Hummingbirds Gather, uses fifteen syllables to capture the little bee-birds darting about those sappy flower buckets. Nice imaging.

Oh how I love this poem! It is a perfectly-written haiku -- stunning imagery, excellent satori, and great usage of word economy (speak volumes with minimalism). I just adore the cleverness in the line "nectar bar." Wow, oh, wow!

Thank you for sharing.

'Hummingbirds Gather' is a lovely Haiku poem.
Each line is a perfect fit for the 5-7-5 format.
It has just the right amount of syllables.
The image is beautiful and goes well with the poem.
Thanks for sharing it.
Good luck with your future writing!

It is a great deal of fun to watch hummingbird feeding at this vine. I planted on , but it did not liek the desert, seemed there was too much heat and the ground dried out much too quickly. Patricia
