In Glory of the Birds and Bees

We have the Birds. . . Living life to the fullest. Rising with the dawn, eager and happy to seek out their first juicy meal of the day, without delay. For this meal gives them stamina to fly and gather twigs to carefully construct their nests . . . nests to welcome their little fledglings in the splendor of spring. Then we have the Bees. . . Bees live in their own devout community, ever busy and content to gather nectar to be shared by their fellow roommates without avarice or ego driven traits that plague the human spirit. We have much to learn from the tiny bee, flying free. The lesson we may learn from the birds Is that contentment may be found in the presence of Mother Nature as a divine gift acknowledging a balance of gratefulness, keeping within the bounds our eco system. The lesson we may learn from the bees is that each of us plays an important part in insuring our growth in humanity by sharing the fruits of our labor with each other in unity. Sorry, Carol, I blew it and somehow missed your large lettering of the word Acrostic. Not sure I will have time to write another for your contest. --Connie

Hi Connie :) -- what a wonderful way to talk about the birds and the bees! We sure could learn a lot form them-- funny how they animals seem to be able to have a better grasp of life than we do? Wonderful thought provoking write & even if you missed out on the acrostic part, still glad that you were inspired to write such a wise poem for it :) Thank you btw for all your inspiring comments on my poems, Connie :) You are such a dear-- hugs to you-- nikko :)

We could learn a lot about social interaction from the birds and the bees, Connie. They seem to have found the way to live "life to the fullest." This is a beautiful poem, Connie. Maybe Carol will give you a pass on the acrostic form. With something this well done, I think I would. If not, however, you may be able to rewrite these thoughts in acrostic. It wouldn't be too hard. Love, Carolyn
