“Speed Racer,” I call him,
His black helmet
Striped with white,
His body sleek and compact
Like a sportscar.
“Chi-chi-chi-chee!” he chortles
As he skids in for a pit stop
At the feeder.
Faster than a photo finish,
Zoom!
He zips off to the races again:
No time to stop,
No time to spare,
Chasing that checkered flag.

Getting acquainted with the diverse and unique birds just on our small property has increased my appreciation of God's beautiful creation. If that's not a playdate with God, I'm not sure what is. :) Sharing this with Laura's community...
