Where Bumbles Bounce

They pollinate our farms
Without them, what would we do?
They give us the opportunity
To eat those veggies and fruits

They pollinate our farms
Help us to satisfy our appetites
With gourmet cuisines grown
By those who know the richest earth

They pollinate our farms
With their jubilant buzzing praise
Creating what we cannot
Blessings of God’s endless grace

They pollinate our farms
Give us a sample of what it takes
To bring about nature’s miracles
With their dancing wings of yellow

They pollinate our farms
Without them, what would we do?
They bring us a wealth of good bounty
To keep us filled with nutrients.

Where Bumbles Bounce Poetry Contest
Sponsored by: craig cornish 

POET'S NOTES: I reread the instructions for this and it said memories which I have a few of - being stung when going barefoot, etc... but I'd already written this so decided to enter it anyway. Hope it's not too far off topic and if it is - God bless the entrants who have a better idea of bee memories than I do.

Hello Regina … the world of humanity needs to heed this message. Yes, bees will sting you, but they compensate with their honey, but it's their pollinating that allows us all to survive - thank you Regina for this wise poem - Lindsay

I haven’t been stung since I was a child but perhaps it’s BEE- cause there are so few around. Your poem hits on good points! Nice one :) good luck in the contest
