What a sweet story in a poem. Hummingbirds are friendly when they get to know you. I've experienced such happenings with my hummers, too. Nice job. Marilyn

Smiles to you mermaids for such a wonderful free style poem about a humming bird along with your authors note
One of you patient's was telling you how she met her husband and when a hummingbird sat on his shoulder, she knew he was the one, makes me wish that the four humming
birds we see feeding from the nectar we have by our deck.

So the hummingbird became a honeymoon bird! So romantic, too. It's funny, isn't it, how the tale of someone sometimes trigger us to write a poem? I can really imagine this man with a little bird on his shoulder.

Lovely poem!

A tiny bit of nature creates a moment of decision in nine lines of neat free verse. This is lovely and captures the magic of the moment so succinctly in so few words. Lovely.

So many different instances of the little ones doing a 'choosing' of sorts -- very cool free verse that depicts just that for us! :) Thanx for sharing that ray of light, my lady! ;)

What a neat story. I guess I would think someone was pretty special if a bird was on his shoulder, too. This poem is unique and well written. It is nicely done.

Top of the day to you, Mermaids.

I pray you are doing well these days. This is such a cute romantic story how a little hummingbird landed on your patient's husband. And, she felt that meant he was going to be her husband. How romantic? I love these types of love stories. Yes, a gift from mother nature. This is a lovely love story. Enjoyable read. Nice title for your poem. Thanks for sharing. Well-penned. Happy writing:-) No errors.

a bird so small, yet
large in spirit
he rests upon a
handsome man's
shoulder,
he is now mine
the tiny red
being gives
me my mate

Well written throughout its poetical free line versification and curious and unusual story lined content. I really thought that hummingbirds would never accept being handly by men.

delightful verse acoompanied beija-flor ('hummingbird' in Portuguese) illustration

do like the imagery of your verse

'large in spirit' - excellent description of that small bird's possibility

one never knows when a tap on a shoulder opens up a new future or a world to explore

suggestion: increase your font size from current FS default (my guess it is 12 point type) IMHO, there are many FS reviewers who have visual acuity issues who may have trouble 'seeing' your text and therefore may not take the time to read, rate, and review your FS posts

it will not detract from your overall presentation
