Walking along the path today
I spotted the humming bird
he hovered
s l o w l y r o s e
until almost out of sight
Then in the blink of an eye
he made a terrific dive
and hovered once more
and repeated his question:
*"Darling do you love me? Will you be my bride?
Will you raise your lovely children, with me by you side?
Will you marry me?"*
slowly again he rose and dove
repeating
"(my) Love?!"

Today I saw a Rufous Hummingbird while on a walk. He was making a courtship display. It was very lovely to watch, especially the sudden, tremendous dive! I imagined the lighthearted chatter to his beloved as his porposal in the poem. And the sudden sound he made at the end of his dive as "Love?!"
