The Hummingbird Saw It Poem by LeeAnn Azzopardi
The Hummingbird Saw It
The hummingbird saw it
The crazed look
The evil in his eyes
And the hate
The hummingbird saw the separation of genders
Heard the threats
Then...then...
The blood spattered
The screaming was too much to undergo
The death of fourteen young women
The hummingbird saw all of it
He recalls every year
Placing fourteen white roses
On the steps where the blood still drips
I love to watch the movements of hummingbirds... it's a beautiful poem!
A poignant poem, very well crafted to touch the readers heart deep. Well done, dear poetess!
I am seldom 'awe struck' by a poem on this site. This is one of those exceptions. Thank you for sharing.

Can we get that hummingbird to testify in court?
