Gregarious

Sheglides on air, this flittering bird,

Mereinches above the flickering footlights

Thatsparkle and sway as she swishes about

Inbutterfly fashion, charming the crowd.

 

Stealthis her enemy, whispers unwanted.

Bestto gain conquest of every ear.

Accentpromoted by flirtatious gestures.

Sensesof subtlety never allowed.

 

Friendswho adore her cling to each word.

Strangersare friends who she just hasn’t met.

Sheis the magnet, the shining example

Toofit, too humble to ever be proud.

 

So,hum little hummingbird. Sing to the masses.

Kissevery petal that brightens the room.

Thereis no sentinel tracking your purpose,

Noreason you shouldn’t shout out loud.
