The Cycle of Life-Tanka

Birds eat bees’ honey Compost of bees helps flowers Bees pick flowers’ bloom Bees again produce honey The cycle of life goes on. Life and death entwined Bees pollinate, birds spread seeds Male impregnates eggs Female populates the earth Life -Death secrets of nature The whole of nature Conjugation of verb “eat” Active and passive Fast death fast evolution Preaches no sermons in stones.
