"The hum of bees is the voice of the garden" – Elizabeth Lawrence
----- A Sam Scott poem: 17th January 2024 -----
You fascinate clearly Once you're out of your hive Flitting here, landing there Keeping gardens alive There's a sweetness, and yet Nasty sting so beware Your work all consumes As you zoom through the air On return to the den Over-share with a flurry Of your flower-full journey Full of buzzing and scurry You waggle your tail With your moves; figure eight So your bee-chums to flowers Can with ease navigate You are sharing the load And you hum as you go Your communal spirit More successful than solo I envy you somewhat Though your lifespan is shorter That you dance while you work I think more humanoids oughta For we stress and we toil Little sweetness to show For our labouring lives Whether sunshine or snow Yet the Spring flowers beckon In the garden of life Perhaps to shimmy's the answer To this trouble and strife
