My poem, “What the Hummingbird Sees,” is in the latest issue of Visual Verse. You can read it here.
“They call her Hummingbird, tiny and splendidly arrayed,
flitting from task to task, as they to flowers,”
The poem is a response to the image by Susan Fenimore Cooper. You will most likely recognize and want to read other poets in this issue, Vol.9, Chapter 5

This is a wonderful piece! Merril, I’m running out of fab words to describe your poetry. I will keep trying. I do own a Roget’s Thesaurus!
