Charles Henderson Poet Haiku

God's Blessing

The maple tree leaf
	Sheens of white upon them lay....
		Crystalline manna

Grass lying beneath
	Sticky to tennis shoe sole....
		small sounds as I walk

The diligent bee
	gathering, gathering, fast....
		Quiets at twilight.

INTERJECTION: 
Some would not return to the hive.  
Too heavy to fly,
too far to crawl.  
I’m sure they will die...


Inspired by a hive or hornets, deluging
a huge maple tree in my back yard, 
which was weeping sap from the leaves.
