The Hummingbird

written by: Joyce Mary J

In a golden cage,

With clipped wings,
And fettered by its owner.
Voiceless,

Until she saw him,
Fluttering around the cage,
Trying to break the chains.
Sharing the nectar,
A beautiful reminder,
Of love, hope and life.

Her books, Witness Testimony and Other Tales, as well as Sherlock Holmes's Two Sides of the Same Coin, and In For A Penny, are available on Amazon.

I better get this out while I still can....
I was 16 when the Beatles were on Ed Sullivan, that was right after Kennedy got shot, and the whole damn country was crying. I remember I was down the street at Kenny Statler’s house because we were trying to start a band, and we wanted to be like them, plus I liked his sister Dusty, that was her nickname, she was 15. Their parents weren’t home, and we knew they kept their booze behind the records in the Hi-Fi, how stupid did they think we were? ...
