Hummingbird
Suppose I say summer,
write the word "hummingbird,"
put it in an envelope,
take it down the hill
to the box. When you open
my letter you will recall
those days and how much,
just how much, I love you.

I love the poem you listed. I decided to go with a little fun on mine (because I am feeling loopy right now) so the link is here.
I could spend all evening looking at other people's blog postings with poems.
