Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Young Trapper To Be

This hummingbird is aware that

Humans can be a greedy kind.

I see them in my habitat

Oft with ill motive on their mind.

And so when I did fly upon

A young and lovely human maid,

I sensed the old phenomenon,

A catch and cage plan she had laid.

She hoped a flower would lure me

To come close enough so she might

Make a capture, but not to be,

And I flew off into the night.

It's sad a human of young age

Seeks to keep beauty in a cage.
