Notes About The Poem

Written for Pick A Title Vol 59 contest September 21 2026 sponsored by Edward Ibeh

What Nectar is to a Bee

You are red sun in my gray cloudy sky
Cheering me on despite blues in life
I look up and see your beautiful light
From gold glowing soul such a delight

As white wind beneath my brown wing
You carry cranberry heart love inspiring
Your yellow whimsical smile like spring
Give rise to sapphire songbirds that sing

You are as sweet as sap from green tree
Lime cure your laugh defeats melancholy 
Moonlight carves path from Black Sea
That is red tragic past rebirth’s dream

Your heart is a love flower warm opening
Even in rain shower you power positivity
I can look at you for hours inhaling peace
You empower what nectar is to a bee

What a beautiful poem, Karen. My fav line: Give rise to sapphire songbirds that sing. Great imagery all the way through.
