Hummingbird Fear

hummingbirds kind of scare me

and i can’t find the phobia’s name

i realize this sounds kind of silly

something wild cannot be tamed

they hover, dart, and seek colors

especially my favorite, dark red

beak so long they’d poke eyes out

ruby-throated fills me with dread

just bring in that feeder of nectar

or i’ll never come near your door

wings flap too fast to be normal

and it’s a fear i refuse to explore

 

 

**Anyone have a picture? I was too creeped out to look.
