The Bees Know

The springtime garden smiles at sunrise From the flowers drafts of fragrance fly The branch of the rejuvenated tree tries To go up even higher in the cerulean sky. Busy bees sense the scintillating scent They swarm enticed from somewhere Suck the flowers’ essence fully content And prepare honey in their waxy ware. The alluring branch of tree they descry Waving in the wind the welcome arm On the buzzing wings they whizz to fly To build a hanging hive of honey charm. In the surging storm the dusk sky breaks The tree trembles hit by tearing thunder The honey-trapping hive network wrecks Succulent splinters spatter down under. Flushed by shower the flowers lie reclined Face the sunburst sky in the morning glow On them honey smeared all over they find That’s how nectar returns the bees know. __________________ May 26, 2022 Contest : Bee Creative Sponsored by : Matt Caliri

This poem is AMAZING. Nice work on 2nd place in my contest of 55 entries! Incredible job! The first sentence grabbed me and the rest of it never let me go. Beautifully written, almost musical in it's sound.
