Bee magic,
deft and sure,
never lingering to despair.
Bee light,
zip and zoom,
ignoring all but the nectar.
Bee strong,
tough and enduring,
working nonstop all summer.
Bee safe,
at risk of harm,
you give back more than you take.

Note: Despite colony collapse disorder, the bees are plentiful in the field. Without them, all of us would be out there with Q-tips, pollinating or perishing. Long live the bee!

Thanks to GreenMackensie for this magical poem with froth and aching. I always find magic in her photographs and words. Hope you do, too!
Fairies underskirts
Springs rich froth of soft beauty
Falls each day aching
Snow petals tumble
Swirling fleeting beauty past
Into strong green growth.
