Making Hay While the Sun Shines

she’s a wildflower
that makes the honey bee buzz
they become as one
when penetration so deep
threshing machine approaches.

A union so perfect that even approaching death does not sway it. A beautiful tanka, Harry. Best wishes. Deb

Oh the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees. And there is always some kind of machine to wreck everything. Nice job Harry. Enjoyed it immensely. God Bless, JB
