Hummingbird

(Image Source: http://en.wikipedia.org)


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.

  6. Do bees and hummingbirds really battle for rights to the same blossom?

  12. It sounds like your two competitors have found a way to compromise and share. Wouldn't it be nice if humans could do the same?

  13. I like it, a competition between bird and bee ending up with the generous flower offering sugar to both of them.
    Wonderful!
