Title : "Wings seeking Syrup"
hummingbird heartbeat
hummingbird wings
wings of jewels on the sea
wings that shimmer
shimmer in sunbeams
shimmer in deep green
green as the sheen on a dragonfly's wing
green as the soft verdant hue of spring
spring with her lips
spring gently kissed
kissed the throat of the hummingbird
kissed her with blossoms
blossoms of silk
blossoms that cradle the nectar
nectar like sweet perfume
nectar like liquid jewels
jewels spun together in a garment of feathers
jewels like the sun on emerald silk
silk encrusted with fairy dust
silk like the feathers
feathers that hum
feathers hum in kaleidoscope colors
colors painting the air
colors sprinkling the air with jewels
jewels on the wings of the fairy
jewels in glistening hues
hues of shattered tanzanite
hues sprinkled on malachite
malachite ignited by the sunlight
malachite dusted with gold
gold as the shimmering sun on the waters
gold as the glittering sunset waves
waves of splashing honey beads
waves of nectar
nectar so sweet
nectar of perfumed beads
beads of nourishment
beads of sugar
sugar beads
sugar diamonds
diamonds on leaves
diamonds glitter
glitter in sunbeams
glitter as she sips
sips with her beak
sips the sweet syrup
syrup so sweet
syrup she seeks
seeks
sweet
Note: Prior to this competition, I'd never even heard of the blitz poem, so this is my newborn attempt at writing one. As a result, I'm not very happy with this piece, so bear with me as it's my very first try!
