In case you didn’t get a chance to stop by the poetry post in the Hoffman Wonder Garden here in July is Barbara Stott’s poem. Click here to see the selections for August and the upcoming months.
A Million Bells Ringing
The bright basket of calibrachoa
shines in the luminous afternoon sun,
flirtatious hot pink and lemony yellow.
Gazing through my window, my heart sings.
Then a flash of movement,
a hummingbird seeking nectar
to fuel its afternoon travels.
I gaze in sheer delight as it visits
each blossom and greets it with a kiss.
