Camera-Shy





A ruby-throated hummingbird
Has found a ruby throne
Before a single leaf has stirred
He's made it all his own.

And from the kitchen windows
I watch him sit and preen
But when the flush of daylight grows
He's nowhere to be seen

I'd like to get a picture snapped
Beneath a clear blue sky
  But I suppose I must adapt--
My friend is camera-shy.
