Writer I think that the little hummingbird is such a beautiful colorful bird. And yes the little creature flutters and whirring its little wings as it goes from shrubbery to shrubbery. To me it seems as it should be tured with all of that whirring.

his 5-7-5, Whirring, has the correct format and captures the stationary hummingbird for a few seconds of description and appreciation. Nice.

Nothing quite like the wonders of nature as this well written poem depicts with the hummingbird's flight. Well constructed poem. Should make an interesting entry into this contest.

I enjoyed reading Whirring" That glorious picture presents your poem beautifully. The word count is correct for the contest. A few well chosen words can say such a lot.

Great imagery, nature is a great theme, the picture compliments your poem. It flows nice and is true to form. I can not find anything negative to say, when it's right, it's right. Good luck in the contest, your poem added to my day.

This is a great description of hummingbirds. They are such incredibly beautiful birds. I remember the first time that I encountered one. I thought that they were some kind of beautiful bee until they just hovered. I was so intrigued by them. They make you want to watch them to see what they will do next. I enjoyed reading this poem. Well done.

What a wonderful sight those whirring wings and iridescent colours make. Truly one of nature's marvels and well worthy of a poem! Lovely picture to go with your words.
