Life perspectives from a wandering mind

Usually the hummingbird, sensing a cameraman approaches, jets away. Maybe it was the allure of a Peruvian lily, but this time the bird stayed in place while I clicked away.

Nick was a master of pick up lines in The Ploy at http://twivelist.wordpress.com. Stories every Sunday. This one is from the vault, first appearing as “Fitzgerald” in June, 2014.

Oh, brave warrior of delicate means,
Dodging unseen obstacles
In a moment
Always to be
The shadow of a butterfly
Coming to me.
