Competition fierce,
Hummingbird challenges the bee,
Stay away, I warn.
Nectar re-blossoms,
Satisfies warriors' thirsts,
Nature smiles in joy.
This Haiku is shared with Haiku Heights and the Prompt is Hummingbird.
Intersting ... you see nature smiling ... all I can think of is the fight for survival of the fittest ...
